Yeah, it was pretty nice. Even if our kid does not end up going there, we are going to use every single thing that they sent.

We received a call when our daughters were accepted for 4th and 3rd grades.

Does Holton call every accepted student or just upper school? That's a lot of phone calls to make in one day! 3rd grade alone usually has 20-30 acceptances depending on the year.

Agree 100%! We don’t want more cheap stuff. Found the SJC sticker and relevant material to be just right.

Same. Like, please just send my kid one Champion hoodie with school name, and be done with it.


Also, if your kid isn't going to attend the school, what do you do with the branded items? Feels wasteful. SJC sent a sticker which was about all I wanted.

Milton sent a beautiful swag box, including challah for Friday night Shabbat dinner.

Lab School had people hand deliver a bag of swag. I thought it was a really nice personal touch.
