Hi Rachel, Thanks for your email about the parent-teacher night. I've been worried about too! My husband is also unavailable that evening as he has a late meeting downtown. Your idea about sounds practical. My appointment with Mr. Parker is at 7:15 pm, so the timing would work perfectly with yours. The gymnasium option is good to know about - I wasn't aware they were . Regarding the Riverside Centre, $12 per child seems reasonable, but I'm concerned about since I'd have to pick up the kids from their after-school program first. I think I prefer your first suggestion of taking turns. Let's definitely chat more at the this weekend. I'll bring some cookies to go with that hot chocolate! Melissa
