Dear Grizzly Bears families,

It’s so hard to believe, we’ve come this far! Your little Pre-Kindergartener has grown so much and worked so very hard this school year!! We still remember that day…the first day of school, August 14th, 2023! We are very proud of ALL their accomplishments! Here we would like to thank you for this incredible journey with you and your students. Every child has become a special part of our hearts. We have enjoyed watching each blooming moment!! 

Important Events in May:

– Friday 05/10, Mother’s Day Celebration. In honor of Mother’s Day on Sunday May 12th, the kids will make presents and Mother’s Day Cards for moms. Happy Mother’s Day!!

Congratulations on you and your student!!
