NEWS AND HAPPENINGS
We've been enjoying the rain!!



Last week was CrAzY with all the rain!! Our hike on Friday was modified as a result of it. The children did still get to get out some and found some GREAT puddles!! Yeah for rain boots!
It looks like we'll be seeing the sun a bit more this week, but there's still a lot of wet and mud around, so be prepared for that.

Thank you: To everyone who prepared treats for our Winter Show! And to our students and teachers for giving us such a wonderful performance! I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did. We are so proud of all our classes! A special thank you to all our teachers who put so much extra work into the evening. We so appreciate everything they do for our students.
