Dear Parents,
February was a fabulous month! We enjoyed celebrating God’s love at our Valentine parties, wearing P.J.’s to school and participating in the trike-a-thon fundraiser. Whew – it was a fun filled, busy month.
A HUGE thank you for generously contributing to our fundraiser! The kiddos had a great time riding and receiving “medals” for their participation. We are purchasing new playground equipment, a new shade structure, classroom items and replenishing our scholarship fund. You can continue to donate all month.
This month we will be learning about Spring, going to Centennial Farms (2 day classes), Irvine Regional Park train & zoo (3 day & TK classes), enjoying the Mobile Tidepools with Captain Carl and performing at the Spring Sing.
Please make sure you turn in your completed re-enrollment forms along with the $200 non-refundable registration fee by March 1st in order to guarantee a space for your child in August. If you have a sibling, please turn in a full enrollment packet along with the $200 non-refundable registration fee also by March 1st.
