Kindergarten will be celebrating Johnny Appleseed Day on Friday, September 25. On this day, your child is welcome to come to school dressed as Johnny Appleseed. To help us celebrate further, we are inviting all parents to come and enjoy a picnic lunch outside with your child's class from 10:15-11:15. Please be sure to bring a blanket or quilt for you and your child to sit on and enjoy your lunch. On the day of the event, please be sure to check in and out with Mrs. Jantz in the front office. We look forward to celebrating with you!
