Dear Parents,
March was a marvelous month! We enjoyed hatching butterflies and chicks, going on class field trips, learning about sea creatures from Captain Carl’s Mobile Tidepool and listening to the kiddos worship at the Spring Sing. Thank you for your enthusiastic participation. 😊
Also, a big thank you for generously contributing to our fundraiser! We are purchasing new playground equipment, classroom items, replacing the patio structure canopy and replenishing our scholarship fund. You can still donate anytime to help us reach our $12,000 goal. We are almost there!! 😊Thank you!!
This month we will be enjoying Spring vacation, Easter parties to celebrate that Jesus Is Risen and going to Tanaka Farms to pick strawberries.
