Jump-start the new school year by toning up and feeling great after morning drop-off!
On Monday, October 4, and Tuesday, October 5, we begin our fourth year of Yoga/Pilates and Yoga/Stretch, respectively. These classes support PTF as a fund-raiser, and they are fun and invigorating, leaving participants centered and relaxed to begin their day. You don’t have to have prior experience in either discipline; our instructors tailor the classes to fit the needs of the participants.

The end of the school year gives us a chance to look back and reflect on our many experiences, while celebrating the rewards of our hard work throughout the year. On Thursday, June 3, the St. Margaret’s Parent Teacher Fellowship celebrated its annual New Board/Old Board Breakfast at the historic Forster Mansion in San Juan Capistrano. The event brings together members of the PTF board leadership, trustees and school administrators, who have worked so hard to make this past year a great one for our school community. Officially, the event is held to recognize the dedication and efforts of the outgoing PTF board and to inaugurate the incoming board officers.

Last week’s Parent Teacher Fellowship Library Luncheon, “Teatime in Wonderland,” provided a beautiful occasion for our St. Margaret’s community to gather together at a parent’s home to support the Library by raising funds in a whimsical atmosphere. The Luncheon featured many beautifully decorated tables, the companionship of friends and family brought together by a great cause, opportunity drawings, and a wonderful view of Santa Catalina Island.

The word “Wonderland” evokes images of a mystical place with imaginary and peculiar creatures living in a dreamlike, whimsical world. In the literary classic, “Alice in Wonderland,” Alice falls down a rabbit hole and meets characters including the Queen of Hearts, and the Cheshire Cat, all of whom were present at the luncheon
