Today Ms. Deb was joined by her next Director for a Day! Today’s Director authorized playing music at drop-off, designed a special art project for his class, delivered lots of supplies to classrooms, and enjoyed a quick donut break in the Director’s Office. No Director for a Day experience is complete without feeding the fish, checking the mail, and ending the day with a bubble party at pick-up! Thank you for your hard work today, Director!!!❤️

Ms. Deb was joined for a jam-packed Monday by her first of two Directors for a Day!❤️ Today’s Director greeted friends and teachers at the door, picked books from the library to read to his class, and checked the mail. He particularly enjoyed performing helpful tasks such as feeding the fish, sorting art materials, and helping to lead Mr. Matty’s music classes! A highlight of the day was the Director’s choice to have bubbles at pick-up!

Thank you to the grandparents and special friends who came to celebrate JK South and their pet investigation!💜🐶🐈

This year, both of our JK classes added a ukulele concert to this special end of year celebration. After practicing new chords and songs throughout the school year, it was so exciting to see them perform 2 of their favorite ukulele songs for their families!🎶
