We had such an incredible International Festival. A huge thank you to Melissa Frymoyer for being the Head Tour Guide, and to Emily Vera and Megan Kieschnick for managing all of our classroom volunteers. A special thank you to everyone who spent their day hosting a country and to the dozens of you who helped the little travelers get from place to place. We couldn't have such impactful events without everyone lending their time. Scroll down to see some pictures!

TODAY is the final day to buy your Mother/Son Night tickets. Don't miss out on a fun time bouncing around together!

More volunteer opportunities ahead with Hands on Science for Kinder - 4th Grade and our Spring Carnival. 

Have a gRAEt week!
