At the first school kickoff party of the year, the Havens community on Wednesday gathered at the home of Shanti and Doug Brien. Parents mingled and enjoyed a delicious dessert buffet provided by the Havens flappers and Havens School representatives Anne Callahan, Nicki Gilbert and Samantha Miller.
The 1920s accessories bar proved to be the perfect place to find feather headbands, boas and fedoras to transform even the simplest little black dress or a suit into attire straight from the Gatsby era.
Parent participation is key to this year’s Spring Fling, said Havens Principal Tery Susman, who also talked about the opportunity to use funds raised by the event to buy back a student furlough day for 2012-13. Co-chairs Cathy Girr and Lesley Zalewski asked parents to do their thing for Spring Fling by signing up for sponsorships and parent-hosted parties, donating items, and bidding in the camp auction online, which opens February 7.
