A Note From the Principal
August has been a month of hustle and bustle at Xplor of Anderson Mill! We have been so busy saying goodbye to friends from the summer and welcoming new families for the fall! As we enter September, we look forward to further settling into our school year routine! You will see many of our classrooms refreshing their centers and more normalization in day-to-day activities. We have opened new classrooms this August and are excited for the adventures that await this school year. I’ve heard about so many great ideas our teachers have in store for the next month and can’t wait to see the fun learning activities come to life with your children. September will certainly be a fun, learning-filled month at Xplor!
