Well, hello November! Time to bust out those cozy sweaters and embrace the chill. Our school is all geared up to kick off this month with a bang! Did you know, back in 1621, Native Americans and the English sat together for a feast with over a hundred guests? They gobbled up yummy turkey and played loads of games. To honor this legendary day, we’re hosting our very own Thanksgiving dinner for our staff, students, and their loved ones! We’ll have a turkey raffle, a canned food drive, and our amazing staff will be whipping up sweet treats for everyone to savor. Our school is all about connections and we’re thrilled to bring our community and families together for this delicious celebration. And, that’s not all! Our students will be racing around in our Turkey Trot, playing games and bagging prizes. Let’s make it a gobble-tastic November!
Let’s take a peek at our “Thankful Tree” tradition! Each kiddo pens down what they’re grateful for on a leaf, and we sprout these beauties on a “tree.” This stunning display graces our front door throughout November, acting as a daily visual cue for the kids to count their blessings and pray for the things they are thankful for.
December is right around the corner, and we have so many fun things planned! We are getting closer to moving to our new location and we are so excited!
