Many thanks to the room parents that volunteered to plan and run the Halloween parties.  It was wonderful to see the children having such a great time.  I hope you enjoyed your time as much as they did.  Thanks to all who came out for the parade!

I will have uniform samples near the main entrance during Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday.  Feel free to check them out and let us know what you think.

Enjoy the long weekend!
