A NOTE FROM OUR DIRECTOR
May 2025
Dear Families,
May is here and that means the end of the school year is upon us! Where has the year gone? It has been a great year of growth and what a difference each child has made. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the amazing staff for their incredible work and love they provide each of the children. May 5th-9th is our Staff Appreciation Week, so please join me in showing your gratitude towards this dedicated team.
This month brings alot of fun activities as we start to wrap up. We have our annual Mother's Day Teas on May 8th and May 9th. Please see your child's teacher for their date and time. THis is always a special event. For the dads, we will have "Daddy Drop-Off Days" or "Donuts for Dads" on May 15th and 16th. Please join us on those two mornings for a little treat, a fun photo booth, and some quality time together. If Dad can't make it, please extend the invite to grandpas, uncles, friends, etc. All are welcome!
As always, we will end the year with a fun Famiy Chapel and Sing, followed by the Bear Picnic on the playground. Children will perform both days; however, please see your child's teacher for your designated Bear Picnic Day. This is a wonderful way to end the school year with music, fellowship, and lunch provided by us! Thank you for an amazing year. I will see you all around the Valley and even here from time to time. This is not a good-bye, but a "see you soon."
I invite you all to join me at church here on Mother's Day as we welcome Pastor Gunnar and his family. I am excited for waht he will be bringing to our school as the new Pastor and a parent.
Many smiles & hugs!
Jody Carmichael
