Happy Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Week!
What an amazing week of celebrating learning?! I loved all the pictures, comments, and love our teachers and students got on our Facebook page. Now this week will be an even larger showing of our community with Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (CBT). Please see the details below and if you can sign up for one of our desserts on the signup genius. This is one of the biggest highlights of our event and really the only time we ask for sweets on campus 🙂 https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0945a8ae2fa3fb6-charlie

Ms. Calvey- Montessori First Grade- Mrs. Calvey is amazing! Her detailed thoughtfulness is incredible!!! In every single email she sends me, she always makes it a point to let me know details on how my child is doing (without me even asking!) She goes above and beyond always. It is so comforting knowing my child is in her hands.
