Ice Cream Social held to welcome new Stockbridge Schools staff 

by Jennifer Hammerberg

On Thursday, August 11, curious students, families and community members came to the Ice Cream Social and Open House to welcome new staff to Stockbridge Community Schools. The cafeteria was buzzing with activity and laughter. Kids and families mingled with each other and got to meet many of the new SCS staff members while enjoying an ice cream treat provided by Stockbridge Area Educational Foundation.

New staff had created slideshows that were playing on Clevertouch smart boards so attendees could get to know a bit more about them; name tags were helpful to put names and faces together. As always our wonderful Panther Cubs PTO was a tremendous help and had a table full of great information and sign-up sheets for incoming families.

Please join us in welcoming all the new faces this year and saying welcome back to our veteran employees! We hope this is a great year filled with fun, laughter and lots of learning!

The event afforded some quality one-on-one time with school staff.
