The 2017-2018 school year is here! Julia Leslie is our new Preschool

Director/Teacher and Mary Dempsey is on staff as our Bookkeeper and Classroom

Aide. A BIG thank you to Warren Jacobs for his help and support. Also, a special

thank you to Pastor Megan, Mary Dempsey, preschool parents and the preschool board for their

dedicated work through the summer.

The classroom is being decorated and two tricycles have been ordered. There are 20 children in the
