Welsh Hills School

Welsh Hills Families — mark your calendar!
Our Annual Ice Cream Social is two weeks from today, on Sunday, August 16, from 1-3 p.m.�

Check out these photos from our archives featuring photos from past Ice Cream Socials. You might even see a few friends that you recognize!

This yearly event is one of Welsh Hills School's well-loved traditions and a wonderful time to celebrate the new school year, catch up with old friends, and welcome new families to Welsh Hills!

We’ll be serving everyone’s favorite summertime treat — ice cream! For those who prefer a different frozen treat, we’ll have made-to-order snow cones thanks to PIE (Partners in Education Parent Group).

All classrooms will be open for students of all ages and their families to explore and meet their teachers. Feel free to drop off school supplies in your classroom when you visit.

WHS families — check your Parent Portal to RSVP by Wednesday, August 12.
