A Note from Our Principal

Dear Families,

April is full of fresh beginnings and exciting learning adventures! This month, our students will enjoy seasonal fun and lessons about caring for our planet for Earth Day. We’ll also celebrate the Week of the Young Child, honoring the joy of early learning and all the ways children grow and thrive. We can’t wait to share everything this month has in store!

Sincerely,
Ms. Vici

Week of the Young Child

Week of the Young Child, April 13–17, is an annual celebration of early learning, young children, and the adults who support them, sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Our school will join the fun with hands-on, collaborative activities in music, art, food, and more. By celebrating together, we reaffirm our commitment to giving every child early learning experiences that build a strong foundation for the future. Stay tuned for more details via Links 2 Home!

Earth Day

Throughout the month, our classes will explore the small ways they can make a big impact on our planet’s health. On Earth Day, we will be releasing ladybugs into our schoolyard! Ladybugs help local vegetation by eating harmful insects.] We’re excited to celebrate this important day with meaningful activities!
