Pre-K through 4 students had a couple of special visitors today. Firefighters Pete and Dan came to talk to them about fire safety. If you have a child in one of those grades, ask your child about what they learned.

Pre-k has been fascinated with finding worms in our new "digging spot". Thanks to some great work done by Glenn Campbell and friends- there is now a perfect spot for the preschoolers to practice shoveling, raking, and digging. They are learning how to handle worms gently and what to do with the worms to keep them safe. Many of the children say that the worms are one of their favorite things about school!

Dismissal times can be tricky and we alway make student safety a priority. As a reminder, please make sure you email or contact all of your children's teachers when needing to make dismissal changes. We sometimes only have notes sent to one teacher (of two or more siblings).
