The weather is holding out!

The Weather is holding out. It's more like Summer than Fall....but the calender tells us it is Fall. We're ready for Pumpkin and Apple picking!

Slide Show

Much love and good wishes to the beautiful and amazing class of 2009-2010.

(post script: The video format on blogger is very low quality, so unfortunately it's really difficult to make out the photos in the slide show below! I have uploaded the video here, so you can click on it and view it in much higher definition. Thanks!)

Dads and Donuts

The dads were the toast of the day today! Donuts and drinks were served and presents were handed out, celebrating an early Father's Day at the school.

End of the Year Picnic

The End of the Year picnic was today, and what a great turnout! The first things the families noticed when they arrived in the playground were the body maps hanging along the fence. There was one for each child: their body was traced on a large sheet of paper and then they decorated and colored in to their hearts' content.Families and kids mingled......and thankfully there were many ice pops on hand!Many! :)Of course despite the heat, the kids had no shortage of energy!
