GOING BANANAS! - Physical Education – MARCH 28
Parents are going bananas being stuck
indoors with the cold weather and kids will go bananas for this fun gym
time! Come jump in our inflatable
bouncer, participate in some kinder gym activities, and have some healthy
snacks! Nutrition and Physical Activity
will be the focus and resources will be available to parents.
Going Bananas! is this Friday, so if you know of anyone who
would be interested in attending, please pass on the information.
This
week is our Country Study Week - the students and staff will be studying Ghana as our country of study. The students will travel from class to class
during that week to learn about different aspects of Ghana and its’
culture. We hope they have safe travels
to learn all about Ghana and its art, animals, sports, dance/music, geography,
food and language. Bon Voyage!
Mark your calendars.

We still have spaces in our kindergarten class for
2014-15. If you know of anyone who would
be interested in our school, please pass them our information and let me know
and I would be happy to talk to them.
Our best recruitment strategy is the word of mouth of our current families,
so we thank you in advance.
