News From the Classroom
Ready, Set…. Here we go! The staff has been in the classroom all week, planning, purging, organizing, and sharing our excitement to have our first classes next week! We had a wonderful turnout of new parents at the Luncheon on Thursday, and enjoyed sharing with them what an amazing community they are joining.
We hope to see many of you at the All School Work Party tomorrow morning, from 9am until Noon, followed by fun lunch of hot dogs and cold drinks. Bring your wheelbarrows, shovels, gardening gloves and tools, pruners, etc. If you are unable to attend but would still like to help us get the school ready for the first day of school, we have bins of stuffies and dress ups that could be taken home to launder and return to school Monday morning. You can stop by and help yourself.
Monday afternoon is the first class for Honeybees, Wednesday morning is the first class for Crickets, and Ladybugs have their Meet the Teacher sessions on Tuesday Morning, and their first full class on Thursday Morning.
We can’t wait to see you all! Have a great weekend!
Gratitude Corner
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Cricket Charlie’s dad Mike and his buddy Chris who spent many hours rebuilding the steps to our gazebo. Their hard work, dedication, and care have made such a difference—not only restoring safe and sturdy steps for daily use, but also beautifying the entrance where so many special school moments begin. We are deeply grateful for their generosity of time and talent! Thank you Mike and Chris for all your hard work!
