Can you believe that we only have a few days of school remaining??  As we think about this school year, we are so proud of the children and the progress each student has made.  Thank you for allowing us to be part of your child’s early childhood education! 

We would like to wish each mother a Happy Mother’s Day!  We pray for you as you nurture and pour into your little ones!

The children are so excited about Bike Day!  You will find a permission slip in your child’s folder.  Please sign and return the form next week.  Also, refer to the important information below to help make this event safe and fun for your child!
