KPAT Happenings
Hope you are having one fantabulous week. We are rapidly approaching the end of our program year which is absolutely, positively impossible to believe. As summer is knocking on our door, we are in the planning stages of what we will be offering in the coming months for families; we will let you know asap!
For now our focus is on getting our hands dirty--literally-- with our annual MESSY PLAY event this Saturday 4/22 from 9a-11a. The forecast looks like it will be a bit brisk, but we are crossing fingers (and toes) for a dry morning. We are so grateful to our KECC/PAT PTO team for ordering up caffeine for us: the coffee truck will be here if you need a boost to keep up with your kids! Don't forget to pack a change of clothes.
We also have a big KECC/PAT Magic House night coming up (see details below); please consider joining us! Wearing jammies to play is absolutely A-okay and will make that transfer from car seat to bed seamless.
As always, please know we are grateful beyond measure to all of you for letting us participate in a small part of your parenting journey. No matter how our paths have crossed, you have made a lasting impact on us! Our name is Parents as Teachers, which might lead one to believe you are teaching your children. While that is true, it is definitely an "AND". You are teaching us, too!
Have a wonderful rest of your week; hope to see you Saturday ready to get your messy on!
