Tuesday, November 22 – Turkey Trot at specials time.  Come to the covered hardtop at 12:25 and trot around the track with your child.  Parents, grandparents, and friends are welcome!  Keep your fingers crossed for sunny weather—the event will be canceled if it is a rainy day.

November 23-25 – School Holidays  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Now that cooler weather has finally arrived, please help us by writing your child’s name in their jackets, sweaters and hoodies.  Be sure to include a last initial or name…we have many duplicate first names.
