Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  We miss your sweet little ones and can't wait to hit the ground running when they return to school on Monday!

A Sneak Peak at Our Upcoming Week:  We will be celebrating The Epiphany on Monday and finishing up some things that we had planned on doing during our "snow days."  Our HSA had planned an adorable craft with a milk and cookies snack which we will participate in on Wednesday.  I will email you the permission slip if you have not already filled it out.
