September 2015 National Hispanic Heritage Month
Welcome all new families and welcome back to all our existing families who had the sum-mer off and are returning for a fun-filled school year! This month will focus around getting to know the families and working out the new routines of the classroom. We invite families to
the classroom during our Spirit Week to read exciting stories and participate in activities. The families will also have a chance to meet the teachers during our Meet & Greet Family Cook-out on the 28th. We will be celebrating Hispanic Heritage all month long, so please join us in
celebrating the wonderful culture. If for any reason you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to come to the office. Thank you! Have a wonderful September!
