We would like to send a big THANK YOU to all of the families
who participated in Teacher Appreciation Week in May.
Everyone felt so loved and appreciated!
We all truly love what we do as teachers and we are very
grateful for the wonderful families that we get to share special
memories with.
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!
On Friday, June 17th, we will be hosting
Donuts with Dad
to celebrate all of our wonderful dads in our
school. Feel free to enjoy a special treat in the
morning with your child before you start your
day! If you cannot make it, you are welcome to
send someone in your place.
Summer days are here!
With the warmer weather quickly approaching, we want to remind
everyone that you are encouraged to bring in a labeled water bottle for
your child to drink from throughout the day.
Also, please make sure your child has sunscreen in their
classroom along with a seasonally-appropriate change of
clothes in their cubby.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
