Parents were given an opportunity to relive school days once again on “Back to School Night”, PTA program for September. Though none of the parents were Gavit Alumni, interest in the school’s operation was nonetheless high, as evidenced by the fine at- tendance. Following shortened schedules, college graduates shared the confusion of newly enrolled seventh graders in trying to find rooms, understand schedules, and opening tricky GHS locks. Once at classes, parents heard summaries of class activities, met teachers, and discussed the work of their chil- dren. Unlike students, however, parents snacked in the cafeteria during study halls.
