“Initially, I was thinking this would just be smaller and just our families, but then as we got closer to the date, it was presented that we should bring in some of the new staff so they have the opportunities to meet our families before the school year starts,” stated Joe Licka of Syble Hopp School. “I couldn’t think of a better way to do it than something like this.”
The event started as a way to help ease students back into the school year.
