Do you speak another language at home? Our school is looking for welcoming families to serve as "Community Buddies" — friendly guides who can help newcomer and non-English-speaking families. As a buddy, you'd offer a warm introduction to school life: answering questions, sharing what to expect, and simply being a familiar face. No formal experience needed — just a willingness to connect. If your family speaks a language other than English, that's a gift our community needs. We would love to make some introductions to new families before the first day of school.  If you have a language superpower and would like to welcome a new Grattan family, please reach out to Sarah Berger (SarahJStrauss@gmail.com) to learn more.
