The Parent's Spotlight
Thank you!!!
Remember there is a suggestion box in the lobby, and we love to hear about ideas to enhance the learning environment for your children.
Bringing in donations of items anytime we ask...you guys rock!!
Would you like to donate?
We could use:
- Storage boxes
- Clear plastic jars (i.e. mayonnaise, peanut butter, jelly..etc.)
- Is there ever a time when you say to yourself, " I wonder if The Tot Spot would want this"? We could use it in so many ways. You may have babies, but the whole school is yours. Everything can turn into a sensory activity or learning experience. So, before you throw out your junk, ask your teacher if it could be used
