Dear Preschool Families,

There’s been a lot of excitement in Preschool lately! Students continued to learn through exploration during their classroom studies. Some classes continue to learn about trees and leaves, and the different kinds of animals that nest in them. Other classes explored all about balls—discovering which ones bounce and which ones roll. Teachers also got creative by infusing fun fall-themed activities into their lessons. Students enjoyed projects like adding their creative touch to a pumpkin or contributing to a collaborative class painting.

Yesterday, we had beautiful weather to hold our Fall Parade outside!  It was great seeing all the kids and staff dressed up in their costumes.  Thank you so much to all our Preschool parents, grandparents and special guests for attending our parade.  We were so happy you were able to join us.

Following the parade, all classes celebrated with their Fall Parties inside the classroom. A big thank you to our parents and room parents for all your help organizing and facilitating these celebrations. We truly appreciate the time and effort you put into making the day special for our students.

As Halloween approaches, for those heading out to trick-or-treat, please remember to stay on sidewalks when available, carry a flashlight so vehicles can see you, and most importantly—be safe and have fun!

Mrs.  Abrams and Mrs. Kathleen's class had a great time at our fall party! Thank you to all of our families who helped make it a fun celebration. 

Last week, Ms. Sunnie and Ms. Megan’s class had a special visit from Nurse Presti. Nora and Ronan’s mom taught us about germs and how to wash them off with a special cream and a black light. We also practiced using a stethoscope and caring for our patient, Mickey Mouse! She left us with a special nurse Barbie so we can keep practicing our new skills. We are so grateful!

The students at Children Academy had fun celebrating the season at their fall party! There was a little bit of spooky and a whole lot of fun!

We want to recognize Ms. Bernadette's Super Friends at the High School!  Students are encouraged to show friendship skills by sharing, using kind words, and being helpful. If the teacher selects them as a Super Friend, they get to wear a superhero cape, have their picture taken, and earn the admiration of their peers. 

 Oh my GOURD, what fun! Our Bargaintown and PSHS teachers and their little pumpkins let their creativity shine as they decorated pumpkins together! We think their creations are simply SPOOK-tacular! 🧡🍁
