mlwgs cookies

The Governor’s School Foundation is excited to invite you to its annual New Parent Welcome Reception. This is an informal chance for parents/guardians of the Class of 2029 to meet one another, hear a bit more about Maggie Walker and the work the Governor’s School Foundation does to support students and teachers from MLWGS’s new Executive Director Kristin Janssen, and just enjoy a moment together during this exciting (and often slightly scary) time of transition.  To accommodate busy schedules, two Parent Welcome Reception times are planned for Thursday, August 7th–4:30-6 pm and 7-8:30 pm–at the Libbie Mill Clubhouse. (As we anticipate the later time filling up quickly, please join us for the early session if it fits your schedule.) Learn more and select the time that works best for you using this link.  

We at the Foundation look forward to welcoming you to the family!
