✏*SEPTEMBER 2022*✏
Pre-K/3K is an exciting and busy time. It is a time to make new friends and learn new things such as literacy, science, math, art, social studies etc.. There will be lots of firsts, for example - leaving mommy and daddy all day, eating lunch in school and daily music and movement. It is a big adjusment for students and parents alike, but we will get through it together!
     By June we will be able to say we've worked, played, made new friends, and stayed safe along the way.
