Thanksgiving Week!
Well we have made it to the week before Thanksgiving! Wow! This year continues to creep by quicker than I thought possible! Last week was filled with lots of learning but also with some fun! Thank you to all who came out to our Thanksgiving lunch on Thursday! It was so good to see so many wonderful families. We ended our week with our first Good Behavior party of the year! It was a great week! This week will be busy and hectic as well! Just one more until Thanksgiving Break!
