No Tutoring November 20 ~ If your child participates in our after-school tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays, please remember that there is no tutoring tomorrow, November 20.
Community Christmas Toy Store ~ Our yearly collection of toys for families in need right in our own area has begun! We are collecting new, unwrapped, toys that our Brandon firefighters will come an pick up on December 6th! Please help us fill this box to overflowing and let the toys spread out down the hallway! It is our goal to help as many kids as possible to have a very merry holiday! Here's hoping you all find some amazing Black Friday deals to share with those a little less fortunate.
Early Childhood Breakfast with Santa ~ We are Ho-Ho-hoping that you will join us for our annual Breakfast with Santa event if you have children who will start preschool during the 2019-20 school year or if you currently have children in preschool, kindergarten or Jr. kindergarten. The event will be at Harvey Swanson Elementary on December 1st from 9:00-11:00 a.m. Here is a flyer with more information and an Eventbrite link for you let us know you plan to come. We want to be sure we have enough food for all who are choosing to join us.
Family Board Game Night ~ Does your family enjoy playing board games? These games are such great tools to teach kids about dealing with disappointment and also celebrating a win respectfully. Not only are board games great opportunities to learn life lessons, they're just fun, too! Click here to find out more about a Family Board Game Night and to reserve your spot to play!
