We will be CLOSED Friday February 13th due to teacher in-service day and some of us freshening up on our CPR skills.
We will be OPEN on Monday February 16th from 7-6. If you have not signed up for this day and need a spot please contact Mrs. Kunze or let the front office know so we can get you added onto the list. Kids will need a lunch, water bottle, and all outside gear when they come that day.
Have a great warmer than normal weekend.
