A Note from Our Principal
Autumn has been filling our days with exploration, play, and meaningful learning. This month, we are focusing on gratitude and the special connections we share with our families. Our students will participate in activities that celebrate kindness, giving back, and appreciating the people and community around them.
We are so thankful for each of our families and for the trust you place in us every day. We look forward to another month of discovery, joy, and togetherness!
Sincerely,
Christine Brauen
