Capturing Kids' Hearts in October
October’s Capturing Kids' Hearts theme is Think, Choose, Act. We want to partner with you to grow and develop your child’s ability to self-direct. We can model self-direction by celebrating the positive in each day, seeking the good in others, and emphasizing our responsibility to make positive choices. Check out the English parent newsletter here and the Spanish parent newsletter here.
Step-It-Up Fundraiser Update
We need level II parent volunteers for that day of fun. If you can help, please sign up here.
