Bites and Lights
A huge Thank You to all of the parents who came out to attend the Queens Parent/Guardian Get-Together on Thursday May 26, at the Anable Basin Sailing Bar & Grill Restaurant located in Queens. It was a huge success, and we couldn't have done it without you!
All boroughs were welcomed, and many were represented. It was a beautiful evening on the waterfront—with dinner, great conversation, and a fun game of trivia about famous LaGuardia alumni, plus giveaways.
Mission accomplished in bringing parents and guardians together, connecting families, and having fun!
Looking forward to next year!
Erica Reaves and Paula Trotto
