Parent’s Night
Special activities for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day will take place for all
kindergarten students on the afternoon of Friday, May 12th from 2:00 - 3:00.
Students are very excited to have some quality time with their moms and dads and
present each of them with a special gift. Keep an eye out for your invitation in late
April. As this event is very special to all of our children, we wanted to allow ample time
for all of our parents to make arrangements to attend. This should be a very fun time!
