September 8th - 12th: What's Happening in Kindergarten This Week

It is so hard to believe this year passing by so fast.  On month has flown by, and our K-Crew Kids settling into a voyage in kindergarten.

 We are excited to announce that on Friday, Sept 12th we will be having Pets in Kindergarten Day. Parents if you would like to bring a pet we will be so excited to have them.  Please bring them at a little before 9:30.  We will be set up in the shade behind the media center.  If there is rain we have an alternate location where all the animals, parents and k-crew kids can stay dry.   Please make sure your pet is in a cage or on a leash.  Please also make sure they are pets that are use to being around children.
