FRIDAY FIELD DAY:
The children were so excited for our first Friday Field Day and have asked if we can do it every Friday. Please consider helping out once or twice per month for one hour on a Friday at your child’s lunch recess, so the kids may continue to enjoy their fun organized games that we play with them For more information, email kimbortnick@cox.net and you will be placed on the schedule.
