[quote=Anonymous]My sister's school does a cohort (in a midwestern state), but it's not as large as Lafayette, and it definitely does not have the community feel of Lafayette (my kids graduated from there). IMO the parent dinners did a lot to facilitate community. Every class had a parent dinner with the teacher, every year, sans kids. Every class had 3 class parents: one for communications, one for parties, and one treasurer (who collected the teacher gift). The school holds a lot of community events and announces them on the Chevy Chase Listserv, inviting the community and alumni. Our neighbor graduated from the school in the 70's and likes to go to events. They also ask for a lot of volunteers. I don't know if any of this has changed, but combined it did make for a strong community. [/quote]
