Dear Families,
I trust all our moms had a wonderful day being honored and spoiled. There truly is no higher calling, and you all do such a wonderful job of loving and caring for your family.
Open House was a very fun evening. The children were so excited to show you all of their projects. The cultural dancing was wonderful!!! Thanks for coming and enjoying this evening together.
Fasten your seat belts!!!! The end of the year is on it’s way and the sand and the beach will be here soon!!!! We will have a fun, glorious ride these last two weeks, celebrating all the accomplishments of the children and our time together as a community of learners. God has truly blessed us!!!!
