Weekly Update Nov. 8th - Nov. 15th

November 8th, 2024


To give our children a fine start in life we must see that their surroundings satisfy their need for activity and development, remembering at the same time that our own part is not that of instructor and interferer but of helper.

Things to know...

Photo Galleries have arrived!

All parents should have received their child's photo gallery from Rebecca Bloomfield Photography.

Your gallery will be open for 14 days. This means is that all digital and print orders have to be placed by November 20, 2024. She'll send a few reminder emails between now and then to make sure that everyone who wants to place an order has a chance to. Digital downloads will be emailed to you soon after you order them, and prints will be available for pickup at the school within 4 weeks. Every family that orders will receive a free class photo.

Rebecca will offer a make-up / retake day for those children who were absent. 

We certainly enjoyed the gift of Rebecca's peaceful presence in our school to photograph our children (and school pets) this year.

Please reach out to Betsy or Michelle if you have any questions.
