From the Director’s Desk Dear Parents, I am sure we all hope spring is almost here!! That means summer is just around the corner. The summer packets for the 6-12 year olds are finished and have been mailed out to all the children who were with us last summer. Our Junior camp which will serve ages 4-5 year olds will have their summer packets by April 1st. This summer is going to be fun and full of new adventures. Also, I want to thank everyone who participated in our Best Of South Jersey voting competition. The results for the competition will come out in May. This month we will have two fundraisers. Our annual Yankee Fundraiser will run the first week in March. The second one will be our Chick-fil- A fundraiser which will be on Monday, March 22nd from 5pm to 8pm. All proceeds will go towards art supplies. On March 24th, we will have our second parent workshop on “Discipline” from 6pm to 7pm. Sign up sheet will be at the front desk. Finally, during this month the teachers will be introducing different famous authors to celebrate children’s Literature. The first week of March is Dr. Seuss week and we will celebrate his work with Ms. Mita’s famous Cat -n-the hat cake. MM Good!!! Thank You, Nina Turner
Reminder about our Parent Referral Program!
