We had such a great time meeting our "kollege" students yesterday! Sabrina did a great job leading the preschoolers through their circle time routine. Can't wait to see the Kiddie Kollege kids next week!

Lunch Change
This Friday, October 6, we will not be having baked potato bar because of supply chain issues. Instead, we will be having hamburgers.
