Principal's Message
Hello Preschool families! Happy Friday! Oh my goodness! What a fun week! I have heard students talking about the plants they have growing in their classrooms, watched students plant their own plants, and others talk about their favorite insects! What a great week of fun and learning!
We have one more week until spring break! You do not have to travel to plan a fun vacation. Look for opportunities to play outside. Take a walk around your neighborhood, go to a local park, pack a picnic lunch and sit outside to eat. There is so much to see and do right in your own yard and in our precious community. Take advantage of all it has to offer.
Spring Break March 15-March 26
All students return for a regular day on March 29
Spring is coming!! Have a wonderful weekend!
