Dear Parents and Families,

Thank you to all that attended our preschool Gingerbread Family Event today! The preschoolers surprised everyone with a cute Christmas song! Thank you to our preschool staff for putting this hour of fun together for everyone!

Our theme for December is Mindfulness and Stress Management!!

We will help students understand stress and its impact, teach them mindfulness techniques to stay present and calm, and provide them with coping strategies for managing stress.

We would love to have your family picture Christmas cards to hang in our foyer! Please send them in anytime!
