Weekly note:
Hi parents,
Thank you to all that contributed to our Ofrenda! It's really come along. We'll keep it on display for another week or so. If you still want to add something, feel free!
Not much else to say this week. Wednesday clubs (Lego and Chess) have one final session this week. The lost & found is piling up even though it's only been two weeks since the last clear out (but keep sending your kids in coats because we will still spend a lot of time outside even as it gets colder!).
And, no, we are not open during Thanksgiving break or Winter break.
Happy weekend!
- James

FAQ of the Week
When I come to pick my child up but they want to stay, can they?
-
Well, honestly, we'd prefer not. Kids tend to change behavior patterns in different environments, and they also tend to treat any time they are around their parents as a "home" environment, which is all fine and well at home, but it can cause issues when they're still at school. If you come to pick your child up but then decide not to leave right away, please read the room and/or playground!
