A Note from Our Principal
As the holiday season approaches, we’re excited to celebrate community, diversity, and the joy of giving. Our students will explore various holiday traditions from around the world through hands-on activities, music, art, and more. We believe in creating a nurturing environment that honors the unique traditions of each family, and we look forward to sharing these experiences with your children. Be sure to stay tuned for more details via Links 2 Home. Together, let’s make this holiday season a time of warmth, connection, and shared memories. Thank you for allowing us to teach and care for your children!
Sincerely,

Holiday Giving
‘Tis the season! Our annual Holiday Giving initiative is a way for students to spread cheer while developing an appreciation for what they have, showing gratitude towards others, and seeing the positive impact of their actions. This year, we are partnering with Olney Help collecting Giftcards for Families in the Olney Area.
Olney HELP is a nonprofit organization that provides short-term emergency food and financial assistance to individuals and families in Olney, Sandy Spring, Ashton, Brinklow, and Brookeville MD since 1969.
As part of our kids helping kids’ campaign, during the month of December, we are partnering with Olney Help to collect Gift Cards for local children ages 10-18. Some holiday gift card suggestions are Target, Amazon, Walmart.
We will collect Gift Cards from November 20th , to December 6th. Last year, we were able to collect 50 gift cards for Olney Help. This year, we would love to match our goal!
Thank you in advance for your partnership and generosity.
