Grandparents'/Special Person's Day

Thank you to all of the Grandparents and Special People who were able to visit with us on Wednesday. What an amazing turnout!  It was a pleasure meeting everyone and seeing them interact with the children.  I would like to offer a special thank you to the PTO board and volunteers who helped to provide our guests with name tags and get everyone to the classrooms.  I would also like to thank Mrs. Judy White and our food service staff for the delicious coffee and goodies and for hosting our guests while they waiting to visit the classes.  Lastly, thank you to our bus drivers for transporting everyone and for Lake Pearl for their generous hospitality. 



















Please be reminded that there are no vehicles permitted in the bus circle during arrival and dismissal times.  These times include 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM and 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
