Mountain School Field Trip

By -

The preschoolers had a wet and cold spring field trip to the Mountain School on Friday. Even with the not so ideal weather, the preschoolers did a great job and seemed to have fun exploring the Mountain School campus as well as the baby animals!  A big thank you to Sam, Makenna, and Missy for touring us around and showing us what makes the Mountain School special. Thank you so much!




















**Important Reminders**

Please remember that your preschooler needs to still have a light jacket or sweatshirt. Even though it is supposed to be a lot warmer, cool weather has been hanging around and making morning recess chilly!

-Wednesday May 15th, the preschoolers are going on their walking field trip to the West Fairlee Library. Stay tuned for a notice/information.

-No School May 27th to observe Memorial Day.

- Save the Date!!! The preschool end of the year celebration is Tuesday June 18th at 5:30!

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.
