University School of Milwaukee’s Parents’ Association hosted Grandparents and Special Friends Day on Nov. 23, after a two-hear hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Grandparents and other special guests gathered in the Marion and Verne Read Gymnasium for a light breakfast and short program, featuring remarks from Head of School Steve Hancock and Parents’ Association President Cathie Torinus, before spending the rest of the morning interacting in classrooms with students. Upper School students and their guests enjoyed a special schedule with shortened classes, so guests could sample a full day’s worth of classes in just half of the time.
In addition, the Parents’ Association hosted the second annual Turkey Trot on Nov. 22. Preschool and Lower School students raced around the Butch Richardson Track, played field games, and enjoyed treats. They were joined by USM’s own Willie the Wildcat and his friend, Tom the Turkey.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
