| Oscar MC-ing a recent parent-teacher meeting. |
The last Saturday of every month is Parents' Day at Alpha Omega. This is when any parents who are able to make the trip can come on campus and spend the day with their child. Boarding school can be a bit hard on kids, who are away from their families for at least nine month out of the year, so they really look forward to visits from their family. Unfortunately, some parents live too far away or for various other reasons don't visit, so it can also be a hard day for some students. We have been encouraged to see, though, some students with local family adopting a friend for the day, and inviting a friend who doesn't have close family to come sit under a tree and chat with their family and share the snacks their mom brought.
On one of the parents' days every year, usually in September or October, we have a PTO (parent-teacher) meeting, during which the school administration shares what's been going on at the school and makes announcements about plans for the next school year, and parents are given a chance to ask questions, share ideas, or discuss problems.
