School News
Coffee & Conversation: Thank you to all the parents and family members that joined us for this fun coffee break last week. It was a great time for all of us to socialize while young ones toddled happily and entertained each other. This event was so successful that we’ve decided to make it a monthly event on the last Friday of each month. The next one will be on the last day of school Friday, December 18. Thank you Tynke Landsmeer for coming up with such a great idea!
