I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend. Thanks so much to all the parents..our Fall Harvest parties were a big success. The children definitely enjoyed themselves. REMINDER: As the weather gets colder, please remember to dress your child appropriately. We do have recess as long as it is above freezing. I recommend coats, gloves and hats. We will be working on dressing ourselves so any practice they can do at home will help you out in the long run. Show and Tell this week is Thurs and Fri. Please bring something that begins with the letter "I". Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns— 841-5044 or teradiep@yahoo.com. Thanks Ms. Tera
