Welcome Back!

We hope everyone had a restful and wonderful holiday break. The preschoolers all seem ready and eager to kick off the new year. 


What a crazy weather week it has been! We are hoping that this arctic air will move on out so we can get out and enjoy all the new snow we have gotten the past few days! Please remember to pack extra mittens and layers for your preschooler. We love playing outside, but hate being cold and wet!
Also the preschool staff wants to thank all the families that donated sleds and art supplies /crafts to the Preschool program. We appreciate it greatly!! :)








Magna-tile fun!!




**Important Reminders**

- No School on Jan. 15th for MLK Day.

Southworth Park We've taken advantage of the beautiful weather that we've had over the past couple of Tuesdays and have hiked to Southworth Park for fun and adventures.  Ms. Beth, our outdoor educator, has built a fire with the kids, and we've made popcorn and hot chocolate. The kids have enjoyed digging in the dirt, finding worms, building fairy houses, playing tag and so much more.  It's always enjoyable to read books and eat snack up there too. A few of the second graders even joined us one day.
