Now that's how you celebrate the beginning of a new school year! On a gorgeous September Sunday, hundreds of members of the RCDS community attended the Back-to-School Block Party, a now-annual event welcoming new and returning students and their families, faculty, and staff to the new year. After the rousing success of last year's community-wide Block Party celebrating the sesquicentennial and the opening of the Cohen Center for the Creative Arts, the Parents Association and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion teamed up to make the joyous gathering a new RCDS tradition, and their collaboration paid off. The second Block Party was happy and energetic as members of the community participated in fun family activities, enjoyed delicious food from FLIK and several local vendors, and danced, danced, danced—with each other and with Willy the Wildcat. Thank you to everyone who attended this wonderful community celebration, and a special thank you to PA President Rosa Perkins, Parents Committed to Diversity (PCD), and Director of Diversity and Inclusion Ali Morgan.
