A FABULOUS FIRST DAY!!

FABULOUS First Day!

We had an amazing first day of school.  I am so blessed to have your sweet children in my room.  We spent some time getting to know each other and touring our school.  We visited our specialists and are so excited about beginning our regular routine tomorrow.  Thank you for your sweet notes and surprises but most of all for your prayers. I am very thankful for the family HE has created behind the blue door!  

Please note the following:

-Your child may need to bring a sweater or light jacket to keep 

  at school or in his/her backpack.  At times, our room may be

  chilly.  

 - Remember to write a name in all personal items. 

 -School begins at 8:00 a.m.  The Kindergarten doors open at 

  7:30 with a teacher supervising, if you need to bring your child 

  earlier.

-lunchbunch begins tomorrow-remember to send your nap mats with 

your child's name on it

I am so excited to see my friends tomorrow.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
