 “It is the child who proves the value of this (Montessori) method”- Maria Montessori

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, Stress Awareness Month and Math Awareness Month. 

April Birthdays: Evan turns 6 on April 21^st.  Happy Birthday!

 Employee of the Month is Miss Jesse!   Please congratulate her for her hard work during the month of March! Our teacher who won the “Best Homeroom” award is Miss Rosy!  Finally, our “Best Quiz” was turned in by Miss Holly!  Congratulations & keep up the great work!

   Please remember: It is important that parents call in their child’s absence or late arrival each day by 9:00 a.m.  School starts no later than 9 am.  We depend on accurate attendance to ensure the smooth operation of the school.      

Also: Please make sure that you sign your child in and out each day, and include the time plus your full name.  Finally, a two week minimum notice is required to terminate school service and close your account.  Thank you for your attention to these important issues.
