Week of February 17- February 20, 2015

Thank you so much for the wonderful Valentine party.  It was great to have all of the help, too.  The kids LOVED every minute of the festivities!

On Friday, February 20th from 10:15-10:45, all kindergarten classes will be demonstrating their square dancing skills in the gym. Come and enjoy dancing with your little cowboy or cowgirl! Everyone can wear their western clothes to celebrate GO TEXAN DAY at Rummel Creek. (Note: if your cowboy/cowgirl wears boots, please send an extra pair of shoes for playing on the playground later in the day.)
