It is simply amazing how fast this year has passed. Also amazing is to see how much each child has grown and to see how much they have each learned. Watching them grow and learn is such a rewarding part of our experience as teachers!! We feel truly blessed.

JESUS TIME
As we begin the last month of preschool we will review what we have learned this year. We will learn about the joy that God gives us through His love for us in Jesus. We thank God for His Joy. We can always have joy through faith in Jesus our Savior.

THEME/CONCEPTS
“Summer Safety” is the theme for the month. We will learn more about bike safety and swimming safety. We will learn a little about stranger safety during our last few days of preschool! We will also review many of the concepts that we have learned throughout the school year.

SPECIAL EVENTS
St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital: Our Trike-A-Thon was a great success. Thanks to your effort and generosity, $1714.00 was raised to help children at St. Jude!

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
