=A0=
=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0.... accipimus.
Having far less claim to being numbered among the smart, I was about
to suggest:
Avi, aviae et amici, vos ad scolam nostram venientes saluto.
=2E.. with the saluto standing for both the hello and the welcome. Am I
right in thinking that ludum would be more appropriate for a primary
school, and scolam (or scholam) for older children? I was also
wondering whether avi can stand for grandparents rather than just
grandfathers. Comments will be gratefully and humbly received.
