A Note from Our Principal
Summer is in full swing, and we are soaking up all the seasonal fun! From spending time outdoors and having fun with water, to playing games with friends and participating in new learning experiences, we’re creating a summer to remember! We can’t wait to see what the rest of summer holds for us.
Sincerely,
Sarah Mentis
Independence Day Activities
Our classrooms will be working on festive activities in honor of Independence Day all week long. Let’s wear our red, white, and blue on July 3rd to celebrate the 4th of July.
Please check local news for any road closures to our area, as typically 5th and 6th street are closed for portions of this holiday week.
Kids Helping Communities
Every summer, we participate in our Kids Helping Communities initiative to give back to communities in need. This year, we will take part in the Wounded Warrior Project. This fundraiser will be from July 15th – July 26th. We will have a link available to make donations, students will be creating “Thank You” Cards, as well as a Bake Sale on Monday, July 15th and Monday, July 22nd. Families you are welcome to donate items to the bake sale (homemade items are ok to bring, please have allergens listed if needed i.e. contains eggs, milk, tree nuts, etc.)
Family Referral Bonus & Open House
Do you know a colleague who has recently had a baby, a friend in need of care who just relocated to the area, or a family member who is seeking a new preschool for their child? Invite them to our Open House on Saturday, August 3rd. When you refer a friend and they enroll, you’re eligible for a free week of tuition. Ask us for details!
Splash Days
Water days are so much fun! Please continue to send your child to school with their swimsuit on and pack a change of clothes and a towel. Sunscreen should be applied before drop-off. For the safety of our students, we ask that they always wear closed-toe shoes. Thank you for your partnership in creating a safe summer!
Ice Cream Social
We will be having our annual ice cream social this year inside the school on Thursday, August 1st from 3:00 to 5:00pm. Please join us this day inside your child’s current class as we welcome new and current families to attend!
