DECEMBER 2019
Our 4K December Outreach event was held this Tuesday, December 10th. With a partnership with Aldo Leopold's community outreach program, we heard the interactive story of The Mitten, learned how to identify and track Wisconsin animals in the snow, and even created our own animal track books to take home! We had a great time! See below for January's winter-themed Outreach event!

Winter Break begins Saturday, December 21st! 4K students will return to school Monday, January 6th, 2020. Please note that the first day back to school for older children in grades K - 12 is Thursday, January 2nd. Below are activities to keep children active over the long break!

Enjoy! Jackie Amlong, 4K Principal
