Blanche Dodd Bobcat News
December 2019
Welcome to December! It is such a fun, yet busy month full of traditions. This month will be a very short month for our bobcats. We have only three weeks together before we take another two weeks off for Christmas break. Dates for the various events are included in this newsletter so you will be aware of the many things that are happening.
I hope that you are able to take time to slow down and live in the moment while enjoying your friends and family this holiday season.
