Care Package Party
Monday, December 3, 6:30-8 pm
Potomac, Md
WDCSA’s Parents Connection is starting a new tradition, spearheaded by Margaret Miller, ’85, P’22! Join us for our inaugural final exam Care Package Party.
Prepare a box for your student and meet other Stanford parents. Please plan to bring items to share (pick one thing and bring multiples) for the packages such as pre-packaged snacks, individually wrapped baked goods (no nuts, please), granola bars, microwave popcorn, candy, school supplies, novelty items, etc.
Items will be laid out on tables for each parent to select from as you create your care package(s).
You can also make a care package for your student’s roommate or for an international student. We will provide flat rate 2-day boxes from the post office. You will go home with a box full of a variety of items ready to be shipped.
Closer to the event we will indicate the approximate number of boxes so you can plan accordingly on purchasing your items. Please let us know if you have any questions. See you in December!
