JUAN DIEGO ACADEMY NOVEMBER 6, 2015
DEAR PARENTS,
We have experienced some beautiful Fall weather and it was a great time to learn about colors and the fascinating aspects of the season. It is very delightful seeing the children picking up leaves with different colors and enjoying with their friends when they play with them. I want to thank all the room parents and other volunteers who helped with the class party for Halloween.The children had a wonderful time playing, eating and singing at the party.
