Hi Families,

January has been so full and busy. We had interviews for our K-1 teacher. I am looking at really promising prospects but if you are interested, please let me know. Our children had a few activity times and combined building forts, discussing justice and MLK Day. We are so excited to move in to February with open hearts and willing minds.

February we are focusing on using F words. HA! Not that F word! Family, friends, feelings, future and fun! We will be doing a different activity surrounding the previous words each Sunday. Be on the look-out for updates from your child’s lead teachers.

HELP wanted for Kids Night Out (Formerly Called Parents Night Out)! We are so grateful for how KNO has been going. The children have loved all of the different events and activities each month. We have 3 left and are looking for volunteers to do activities with the kids. Feel free to email me if you would like to bring your area of expertise to a fun night of KNO. More information is below!
