Dear First Presbyterian Preschool Families,

We did it, we made it through another wonderful school year. We take teaching your children very seriously and we can't begin to thank you for all of your support, and for trusting us with the early education and safety of your children. 

I'm overjoyed to say our Senior Send-Off was, once again, one of a kind and a fantastic way to end the year. Pictures by the talented Nichole Niffenegger will be coming to you soon. Thank you, Nichole, for capturing the day for us with pictures that I know will be amazing!

Thank you, Lydia Chapdelain, and all of our amazing staff for coming together to make the Butterfly Ball a fantastic party - I love you all and can't imagine working with a more dedicated staff. If you are wondering where the beautiful centerpieces came from, we have the very talented Kristin Helmuth to thank. Thank you, Kristin, everyone loved them and they added the perfect touch to the ball! 

Thank you to Pastor Margaret for your lovely prayer and for sending our seniors off with such a beautiful blessing. 

Special thanks to an amazing mom, for creating such a beautiful slide show for us. Watching the children view it was a special gift I will always treasure. Their commentary on remembering all of the special moments was priceless. Thank you for combing through the countless pictures I sent you and capturing the essence of each of our seniors, who are truly one of a kind and are the real teachers. They remind us to be present and notice and appreciate things that we, as adults often overlook. Thank you, Seniors, your preschool family loves you more than we can say. Your wings are strong and you are ready to fly!

We are grateful for each and every one of our preschool families. Thank you for sharing your precious children with us. Whether you have been part of our preschool family for a few months, years, or decades, we can't thank you enough for allowing us to be a part of your lives.

We wish you all a safe and happy summer and we look forward to seeing you soon!

With love and gratitude,

Clare Carter
