This past week, on April 14 and 16, we had so much fun welcoming our newest Mini Mustangs for the first two of our three Kindergarten Round-Up events! It was such a special time getting to meet these soon-to-be students and their families as they officially signed up, turned in their paperwork, and started getting a feel for what school will be like. The kids got to ride the Clio Carriage (aka the big yellow school bus), practice going through the lunch line with our awesome food service team, and spend time exploring their new surroundings. There were lots of smiles, a few nervous moments, and plenty of excitement along the way. Moments like these are so important, they help our future kindergartners start to feel comfortable, confident, and ready for their first day. We’re already looking forward to seeing everyone again, and can’t wait to officially welcome this amazing group of Mini Mustangs in the fall! It’s not too late to sign up for the final Round-Up on April 21! Link to RSVP: https://tinyurl.com/trf685xb
