April is a special month for young children! It is a month of celebration! National Week of the Young Child is April 8-12. During this week, the teachers have planned many special projects and activities for the children.
Hopefully the weather will start warming up! 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 non-aerosol 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 in their classroom garden boxes, as well as releasing their classroom butterflies. Please be sure to check out their garden boxes by the end of this month to see what they have all planted.
Sincerely, Stephanie Gill/Principal
