Hello,

We are continuing our study of our fifth and final African animal.  We will be discussing the zebra this week.  Be sure to ask your child about the zebra's stripes, what it eats, where it likes to live, how do they protect themselves from predators? 

Kid Town is underway.  The children were able to open up four of our stores.  They sure had a good time.  Most of them enjoyed working more than shopping.  Parents, you will also have an opportunity to experience our town.  On March 29th, at 8:30 am, you are all invited to join us. The children will be working, and you will be the consumers. You will have the opportunity to go shopping and see all the hard work the children put into creating their businesses.  This event is always a lot of fun. 

Reminder: The campus opens at 8:00 am. Please be aware that the children may not play on the play structure or run around on the playground before school. It is school policy that all children line up in front of the classroom door. I really appreciate your support with this morning procedure.
