A Note From Our Principal
Happy New Year! We can hardly believe that 2020 is over and want to thank all our families for your unwavering support through the past year, it has meant everything to us. We have cant wait to spent 2021 continuing to get to know your family while growing and learning together.
We were able to provide 30 toys to Toys for Tots because your generosity. We heard our friends talking about the box as they left each evening; so excited that they were helping other little boys and girls. Your generosity is truly appreciated and they expressed their gratitude when they picked it up.
We hope everyone enjoyed our special holiday wish to families from all of our teachers. We had fun creating it together!
The month of January will be full of fun wintery weather experiences revolving around snow, hibernation and winter animals (this was always my favorite unit as a teacher), special zoom in days for families, and a New Year countdown celebration.
Please take a moment to read through the news and reminders below and let myself or anyone else on our administrative team know if you have questions or concerns.
Wishing all our families the very best in 2021, lets make it our best year yet!
Warmly,
Tanya Meshey

If you’ve not already done so, please send in an extra set of weather appropriate clothes for your child. We will continue to head outdoors each day as long as the weather is appropriate, so students also need to come to school each day with a jacket and dressed warmly enough to play outside for part of the day. We want everyone to be able to participate!

We will undoubtedly experience some winter weather during the month of January. We will report any delays and closings to WGAL, which will be listed under Estelle Drive who reports for all our Lancaster schools. You will also receive an update on Tadpoles.
