DUCK DAYS – We are the proud parents of 4 ducklings.  They will be in the classroom until next Friday, June 6.  Stop by to see them if you’d like. 

** Our Kindergarten Celebration will begin at 9:45 on June 25.  It will be a simple assembly followed by a picnic.  The K teachers will furnish cookies and juice pops for the picnic.  Please bring lunch and utensils for your family.

 SUMMER FUN?  This could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for!  Our two fish, Tansy and Goldfish, need a summer home.   You can put them in your existing tank or have our tank for the vacation months.  The only stipulation is that you bring back the tank and supplies for next year’s class.  The fish often have short lives so I can replace them in September.  Be the first to offer fish summer camp!
