Stoller Families,
I hope you are staying warm with this cold weather settling in. It is great seeing some of you join us for our Fall Play – Neverland. The play debuted on Wednesday and will continue through Saturday. So, you still have some time to catch it if you haven’t already. Ms. Tuck and her students have done a wonderful job of bringing this play to our Stoller community. A big thanks to our parents who have volunteered their time or talent to ensure the play is a success. Enjoy the wonderful cool, dry weekend.
