Rolling Along
We’re in the second month of school and already there have been neighborhood walks, faraway farm trips, a photo day, an assembly and three Curriculum Nights. Students have settled into their classroom routines and are now busy at work on the various aspects of our progressive program. Parents have also been working hard on a variety of parent committees to organize and prepare for upcoming community events. This weekend is the Halloween Fair on Sunday, October 28th from 1-4pm. (Please see the attached letter for more details.) Thank you all for your continued feedback, wisdom and insight into your children’s lives. We enjoy partnering with you and are looking forward to more exciting things to come.
