Right around the corner

Cool August mornings and the quiet chirp of the crickets are a sure sign that summer is coming to a close and school is right around the corner! We hope you are enjoying these glorious days and are making the most of the weeks last of summer break!

We have been busy getting our classrooms ready...organizing libraries, arranging furniture, hanging bulletin boards.  The excitement of the start of school is electrifying and we can't wait to see the spaces filled with kids!

We are in search of a few donated items for our classrooms. Building and STEM items (Legos, wooden blocks, marble runs, etc) would be greatly appreciated! If you have any items kicking around your house and would like to donate them, we would be forever grateful!

We would also love house plants and succulents!

We hope you are able to stop in on Thursday, August 22 from 2-3 to meet us and see the classrooms!
