A Note from Our Principals
October brings chilly mornings, vibrant leaves, and so much seasonal energy to our school! We’re leaning into autumn all month long, exploring nature’s changes through creative art, sensory bins, science experiments, and more. Plus, we’re gearing up for favorite fall events like Trunk N Treat and Spooktakular where our students are sure to have fun and make new memories. As always, thank you for trusting us with your child’s growth and learning.
Sincerely,
Ms. Allie and Ms. Pia
Coming back from leave and being welcomed back with so much love, warmth, hugs, and excitement truly touched my heart. From the sweet hugs and smiles from our children, to the kind words from our families and the warm welcome from our incredible teachers, I was reminded once again just how special our school community is.
I am so grateful to be part of a community where relationships mean so much. The love and support I felt upon my return was more than I could have asked for, and it made coming back even more special.
Thank you to our families for your kindness, to our teachers for always making our school feel like home, and most of all, to our children for the biggest smiles and sweetest hugs. You all made me feel so loved and missed!
I am so happy to be back and look forward to all the wonderful moments, learning, laughter, and memories we will continue to create together. Thank you for making our school such a special place to be! ❤️
-Miss Allie

Trunk N TreatWe are having our annual Trunk N Treat on Saturday October 10th. We are still looking for sign ups to decorate trunks and pass out goodies.

Halloween ParadeWe are having the Halloween Parade at 4pm on October 30th. Parents are welcome to attend. Families can gather in the playgrounds to watch. Be here promptly at 4pm to make sure you do not miss your child. As a reminder that costumes need to be school appropriate and no weapons are allowed. We also ask that you keep any small items at home so they are not lost. If your child comes to school in their costume may get dirty from the days activities. So if you are wanting to keep it clean please send it in a separate bag to put on later.
