Week of December 4, 2023

Shout out to Kristi, one more time!  What an honor and great example of the excellence in our building!

We hope you are looking forward to our first week of punny holiday activities for December to Remember.  We have SO MUCH FUN planning out ways to show you how much we love you and to bring the fun each December!  You folks had some gooooood guesses, but.... nice try!  As we plan, we try to be mindful not to take too much of your time, not to always have food, to remember food sensitivities, and to keep our crafts on the easy side! If you are absent or for any "projects" or want extras to do some with your family at home, we always have plenty.  Just email us or let us know by the end of the day and we can share our leftovers!!  Your creativity with your ornaments, tomorrow, will fill our tree and have our foyer looking LOVE"LEE." Thanks for making this a December to Remember for your learners as well!
