We had an exciting month with our Walk-a-Thon, which raised over $5,000! Thank you for your generous contributions. HUGE shout-out to Ridgewood for being our top business sponsor!
The visits from the fire department were both fun and educational, and the library visit was a great success as well! We’re excited to share that the library will be tailoring their story time for our Pre-K class to better meet their learning needs, helping to keep our older 5s engaged and enthusiastic.
