Greetings Preschool Families,
I hope you are enjoying a lovely long weekend with your families. The mix of summer-like weather and fall foliage is beckoning us all outside. Enjoy your adventures as your children play outdoors and hone their observation skills, exercise and coordinate their large motor muscles, and collaborate around possible play scenarios/activity options.
Ongoing thanks to those who have been using
Pick Up Patrol to log children's absences and changes in dismissal plans. Keep up the good work. We'll all be used to it before we know it.
~MaryBeth
