REMEMBER THAT....
There is still a chance for you to get a night at school for your child, a memory to last a lifetime!
Originally offered only at the Gala, we would like to extend this experience out to all our students....
On June 7, 2019,
parents have the opportunity for an afternoon into the evening, OFF. Take some time for yourself or get a group together to have a night out on the town while we will entertain the little ones at school.
Yes, that means you do not have to pick up your child after school. We will keep all the kiddos for a night of fun!
A NIGHT AT SCHOOL....
....we will start off with 6 rotations of pure fun including all the things you want to do at school but are not allowed to, including making "make and takes!"
Thank you to all that were able to participate.

Our Monthly
CHALLENGE CALENDARS
CHALLENGE CALENDARS
are optional, we find skills such as goal setting and delaying gratification extremely helpful and since we cannot spend more time on this in school. The challenges were created as an optional supplemental activity that most students enjoy.
