Welcome, welcome to New School-West! We met and laughed over wine and nibbles (oh how NSW) in the Middle Courtyard, and by 7:00pm we were in our flower groups, swapping stories. Our ambassadors: Jonathan and Laurie Grossman, Laura Hubber, Robin Kessler, Jeff Sugarman, Jeff and Michael Stuno-Pervorse, Jessie Newhall, and Jacklyn Schatzow smoothed the way into conversation and schmoozing over photos. Our terrific teachers: Silvana, Jessica, Amy, Sam, Yoli, Paola, and Kris and Roleen represented the love and warmth NSW is known for and fell in love again and again and again. It’s the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
