Weekly Update 9/8

Hello Coop Families,

We hope everyone had a great introductory week and are ready for the first full week of school!

School Updates

• All classes will be full sessions this week, at 9:00 AM and ending at 11:30AM.

• Color Weeks: The first 9 weeks of school we will celebrate a different color each week.

  • This week we will celebrate the color red! Please help your child choose something to wear with the color red on Thursday.

  • This is not meant to be stressful, any little splash of red counts.

  • Also, if you are the parent helper, try to incorporate red into the classroom snack.
