Plans for August 22nd-26th

Hi Parents,
   We've had a good week and the children are doing so well!
Grandparents Day is slipping up on us and I wanted to explain
what it involves especially to those have not experienced it.
The Grandparents are invited for Sept. 9th to Willett Hall
and the children will sing a couple of songs for them. We
watch a short movie about a grandparent and have refreshments.
It last about an hour but is lots of fun. You will be receiving
