I always like to give credit where credit is due, and for the month of May, that credit goes directly to the heart and soul of our school: the teachers! I’m so proud of all of the work that our teachers put in to provide your children with fulfilling and memorable early childhood experiences. Many of our teachers put in time and effort well beyond the school day with no extra compensation other than the smiles given to them by your children each morning. While they often tell me that those smiles are more than enough, I’m sure we can all agree that they certainly deserve so much more. I hope you will join me in honoring them this month during Teacher Appreciation Week!
PRE-K FAMILIES: Don’t forget to SAVE THE DATES! Our graduation celebrations for the 2016-2017 school year are coming up soon! Pre-K will take their Graduation Field Trip on Monday, June 4th to Storybook Land. Pre-K Graduation will take place on Friday, June 8th at 10:30am. More info to come, but mark your calendars now for these special events!
