It's a Good Day in Pre-K
March Memo
Top o' Tha Mornin to Ya!
It's March! Time to trap those pesky leprechauns, look for gold at the bottom of rainbows, get ready for some March Madness and of course spring forward, which is Sunday, March 12th...not that I'm counting. It is also a time where people love using idiomatic phrases such as "Top o' tha mornin to ya!" In essence this means the best of the morning to you. Speaking on behalf of our Pre-K teachers your children make up the best part of their mornings. Being of Irish decent, I have always loved March. Not just for St. Patrick's day, but for spring. In Pre-K this means in just a few months your little ones will be getting ready to "spring" or leap into Kindergarten. With that please pay attention to your home District's Kindergarten registration dates.
