Parent Socials are a wrap
Shout out to the team of USNA volunteers and USN staff who made these parent and guardian gatherings possible over the last month.
By Anna Cramer and Joanna Hall, 2000-2022 USNA Co-Presidents
Over the course of the last month, parents and guardians from each of the 13 grade levels gathered on the Berkman Goodman Library Terrace to hang out with familiar faces and meet families who are new to USN. Special thanks go to volunteers Helen Jahangir, Audra Ladd, and Felicia Tibbs for organizing the hosts for these gatherings. And we especially appreciate the Operations Team and Vanderbilt Community Service Officers who worked so hard, including beyond their normal hours, to make sure that everything went off without a hitch.
And thanks to the hosts for each grade level:
kindergarten — Kelly Unger
1st grade — Emily Johnson
2nd grade — Clare Clarke
3rd grade — Sarah Nadler Wolf
4th grade — Sara Horst and Erica Garrison
5th grade — Clare Michels, Sowmya Reddy, Daljit Birdee
6th grade — Audra Ladd
7th grade — Nealy Glenn
8th grade — Ashley Upkins
9th grade — Megan Fast
10th grade — Marilyn Ollila and Cameron Simmons
11th grade — Christie Laird, Erica Jacobs, and Danielle Gilbert
12th grade — Meggin Grobmyer and Michelle Rosen
Thanks, y’all!
