April is a special month for young children! It is a month of celebration! National Week of the Young Child is April 24-28th. We will be kicking off this special week with our Annual Play Day-Earth Day projects! I hope all of you got a chance to read the email that was sent out last week in regards to this. Now that the weather is warming up, the children will be spending much more time outdoors. For your child’s safety, please do not send him/her to school with open toed shoes. This will help prevent injury’s while running and riding the trikes. Please also send sunscreen that we can keep here at school for your child. In celebration of Earth Day, all the classrooms will be spending lots of time outdoors planting towards the end of the month. Please be sure to check out their garden boxes by the end of this month.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Gill/Principal
