Wonder Watch

It is hard to believe we are in the final weeks of the 2022-2023 school year. The month of May is full of family events and exciting moments. I have a list of upcoming events below. Please contact your classroom teacher or the WoW office with any questions!

Fenton Area Public Schools has selected nominees for Support Staff of the Year. World of Wonder is fortunate to have not one, but TWO of the amazing nominees at our building! One of our building substitutes, Betsy Berkey, and our paraprofessional Kelly Eddy. We appreciate all they do for our students!

Friday June 2nd we will be offering School Age Before Care ONLY. Preschool Programs & School Age After Care will not run. Instead, we will be having a End of the Year Family Picnic for all WoW families at Bicentennial Park. Only families who attend School Age Before Care will be charged for this day.

We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any calendar questions, please contact Marissa Cobleigh, mcobleigh@fentonschools.org or 810-591-8354

We will be celebrating teacher appreciation week May 8th - 12th.

To show our World of Wonder teachers how much we appreciate them, we will be having theme dress-up days, a parent donated breakfast (see Sign-Up Genius below), an appreciation station, and much more!

Keep an eye out for further communication from me about some surprises we have up our sleeves for our amazing staff.

All WoW programs are invited to join us for our 1st annual end of the year picnic!

Enrollment for Summer 2023 is in full swing! Below are flyers for our programs we offer during the summer.

• We only have half day preschool slots available
• Enrollment for School Age Summer Camp will open to the community in May, if you are a current family who is interested in attending - please contact us as soon as you can! We don't want you to miss out on a spot.

Any questions about summer options, please contact Marissa Cobleigh at mcobleigh@fentonschools.org

Below is information on our program options for the 2023-2024 school year. We give our current families first priority when enrolling. Please make an appointment with the office to discuss options for next school year and to get your child enrolled!

We encourage all families with a student turning 4 before December 1st to apply for our FREE preschool program through the state of Michigan. You can find the link below for Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP).
