Hello friends and families!
We've officially entered into the month of April and, thankfully, the weather finally got the memo that it's spring! This month, we're talking about HUMILITY. We're defining humility as "putting others first by giving up what you think you deserve". For preschool, our definition is, "I don't have to be first".
Check out the parents newsletters to find more information about the kinds of conversations we'll be having here at school and for further discussion questions at home:
