FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - The countdown is on — just ONE month until the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 10. Take small steps now to get ready: Adjust sleep schedules a little each week, gather school supplies and organize backpacks, keep learning going with 20 minutes of reading or math each day, mark important school dates on your family calendar, and start practicing morning routines. We can't wait to welcome everyone back for another amazing year!
Yesterday, our Kindergarten and First Grade classes had a special visit from our school counselor, Mrs. Bradner! 💗The students participated in a fun activity to get to know her better and learned about the important role of a school counselor. They talked about the different ways Mrs. Bradner can support and help them throughout the school year.
We are so thankful to have Mrs. Bradner as part of our school family and for helping our little learners feel safe, supported, and cared for! 🥰
