Love is in the Air
Across Early Childhood, 4K. and 5K, there have been many Valentine's celebrations yesterday and today. Some of the boxes that students created or the way they decorated their goodie bags was amazing. Thanks to all the parents and volunteers, who helped out with the parties, brought or sent in treats. The cold weather didn't stop everyone from showing their warm caring hearts for each other!

Shout outs and Thank Yous
Thanks to Dave Mand, Mary Schulze, and Cliff Unertl for all they did in our building this week. The boiler went out, and was fixed, then the sump pump broke and was repaired, and on Wednesday, the sewer water backed up into the drain in the kitchen, and they called in help and had a big mess to clear up. THANKS GUYS! We don't know what we'd do without you!
