We'd like to thank everyone within our preschool community for a wonderful year! This includes the Room Parents, Committee Volunteers and Classroom Volunteers. Not only several hours of time and lots of love is invested by our families, but also financially thru the goodness of their hearts and/or fundraisers. This year's donations from the Gingerbread Fun Run was put to use to spruce up the playground. Check out the board in the main courtyard that shows what was purchased with your donations. Through events like these, it allows us to keep our classrooms and outdoor environment fresh and exciting and it's all possible because of you, and are eternally grateful.
This Spring, a family was monumental in clearing the brush from behind the fencing along our Eric Carle Reading Garden. This allows for a clear path the kids can use during small group exploration. Thank you, Angner family!!!

The momentum was building as fast as the weeds were
growing and several Tortoise families spent time in our Eric Carle Garden. Many hands really do make light work! Thank you Tortoise families!
Last but not lease, The Reggio Journey Fund. Over the last two years, the staff attending this year's 5 State Tour to the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy has worked tirelessly with events such as the Daddy/Daughter Tea Party, Momma & Son Super Hero Training, Birthday Parties in the Atelier, Family Movie Nights on the Green and several babysitting nights complete with PJs, Pizza & Popcorn, just to name a few. As you can imagine, they are eager to depart this month and we can't thank you enough for your constant support which has made this dream from our staff a reality.
