Our numbers are growing each day as the children are bringing their pillow pets and dolls on a daily basis.  We understand their attachment to these "special friends".  As we prepare for first grade we ask that our "special friends" stay at home following "Spring Break".  Thank you for your cooperation and support.  We appreciate each of you and love your children.

Dear Parents,
We had a really cool week (in more ways than one)!  We have been busy making valentines and thinking about how we can show love to each other.  Our party time  on Monday has been  changed to 11:15 due to art and computer.  Hope to see you then.
