     Our first ABC boot camp was BEYOND successful! Having all the families and friends there to support the children was just amazing and we are all so very grateful. I do hope everyone enjoyed the show, I know the children were so excited to show you their hard work and it showed at the show. We do have a half day this Friday and then we will be all off for the next week for Thanksgiving. I do hope everyone takes that time to rest, enjoy family time and self-care! When we return we will start with Advent. Thank you for the continuous blessings and know my door is always opened!

     This Wednesday we will be closed at 2:30 pm so we can prepare for the ABC fashion show. Thank you to all the families who turned in their vests and questionnaire, they are all so perfect and the children are very excited to show them off Wednesday. If you know that your child will not be able to attend Wednesday please let me know as soon as possible as we will have to make arrangements for your child’s vest. This will be one of our biggest preschool fundraiser and all of the support goes directly to the preschool. We truly cannot do this without all of YOU so thank you in advance for knowing how important this is to our preschool! Please do not hesitate if you have any questions, my door is always opened.
