November
A note from the principal
Dear Families,
This month, we will embark on a journey of fostering connections and celebrating cherished family traditions, as we nurture the spirit of Thanksgiving and togetherness. Our preschoolers will be engaged in activities that inspire gratitude and kindness, such as creating festive crafts, sharing personal experiences, and learning about the importance of giving back to our community.
Thank you for entrusting us with the care and education of your children. We look forward to another month of joy and learning!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kristen

Potluck for staff
We are having a potluck for the staff on November 17th. If you would like to send something in please sign up at the front desk.
Reminders
We are required by licensing to go outside if the temperature is above 35 degrees. Please be sure to bring in a winter hat and gloves for your child, as well as a winter coat. You may elect to leave an extra set of gloves and a hat in the cubby or bring it in every morning.
Please remember to label your child(ren)s items. This helps us return lost items, and helps the teachers make sure things are placed in the correct cubbies.
It's also the perfect time for a cubby refresh! Make sure you have weather appropriate, well-fitting clothes in your child(ren)'s cubbies. We recommend 2 sets of clothing in case of accidents.
