Dear Kindergarten Families,
I hope everything is well with you and your family.
I appreciate the partnership to support our Kindergarteners on their educational journey. Thank you to our Room Parent team for posting on BAND more details regarding our school wide Valentine’s celebrations tomorrow, Monday, February 12.
A big shout out and thank you to our 2nd trimester art docents, Leonardo’s mom, Mrs. Gomez, and Memphis’ mom, Mrs. Elizabeth for helping our artists create their Grant Wood inspired masterpieces through the Meet the Masters program.
Safety Drills
All year we’ve learned, “If we’re prepared, we won’t be scared.” This past Friday, our Kindergarten students handled the earthquake really well and everyone was safe. When the earthquake occurred, we were in the Church for Admoration. Nobody cried or panicked. They all followed instructions and exited the church with respect. It’s truly reassuring to see how well-prepared and composed our Kindergarteners were during the incident.

Please send a bag (e.g. plastic,grocery brown, or recyclable) to take Valentines home. All goodies will be sent home, not opened or eaten at school, so parents can manage any dietary restrictions.
