Dear Families at Oak Grove,

I am thrilled to announce that Oak Grove Preschool & Kindergarten will officially be offering 1st grade for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year! This is an exciting opportunity for our students to continue their education with us.



Enrollment for 1st grade is currently open to current families but will be opening to the public starting on February 8th, 2024. We encourage all interested families to secure their spot as soon as possible.

We are also excited to share that the "Swirly Room" will be transformed into an engaging learning environment for our 1st-grade students. We look forward to keeping all families informed on the progress of this exciting transformation, which will begin very soon!

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We are so EXCITED to share this wonderful news!

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions in the meantime at mandy@oakgroveumc.org, I’m always happy to help!

Sincerely,

Mandy Midgett
