CHRISTMAS PARTY

- Our schedule will be altered. You can find the Party Schedule on the documents page.

- PLEASE STAY IN CHARGE OF YOUR KIDS DURING AND AFTER LUNCH
- Every year we find that the lunch gives way to a mad house with kids run-a-muck through the building and outside. While we want to continue the tradition of our lunch time before the party, we do need to get a handle on the craziness. Please help by keeping an eye on your kids before they head off to their classes.
