Upcoming Events:
Wednesday, October 31st we will be taking the Preschool and Kindergarten Readiness classes to Washburn campus to trick-or-treat.  This is extremely exciting for the kids, but also very tiring, so please be sure to send them in comfortable shoes and weather appropriate additions to their costumes (for instance, tights under a dress or a jacket for a chilly morning).  It would also be beneficial to have all pieces of your child’s costume properly marked with their names or initials to avoid loss and/or mix-ups.  We will change into our costumes after breakfast so please have your child to school no later than 9:30 AM.  We will return to the school in time for lunch and nap time will proceed as usual. 
 
Parents are WELCOME to come and help out!  The more adults we have to help corral our little ones, the less chaotic and more fun the trip!
