Come visit your child’s classroom, meet the teachers, old and new friends and cool off with an ice cream sundae.

 September-  Parent Coffee-Join us for a morning of coffee, hot cocoa, goodies, and an opportunity to meet new families.

Open House-Have your child show you what they have been learning at school, who their new friends are, and talk with your child’s teachers. 

November-Thanksgiving Feast-This is a child-only event.  Parents are welcome to come and help serve food and help supervise the playground.  The children help prepare the food and share what they made with their friends.        

December – Christmas Posada- This event is for the entire family. Help us rejoice and recognize the true meaning of Christmas. Children will act out the procession of Mary and Joseph walking from inn to inn “looking for a place to rest.”  The children will conclude by singing songs and having cookies and juice. 

January – Parent Coffee-Join us for a morning of coffee, hot cocoa, goodies, and visit with friends. 

February – Silent Auction and Dinner Dance-Parents only event-Get a babysitter and enjoy an evening of dancing. All the evening proceeds go to the school. 

May –Art Social-What a way to end the school year. Your child’s classroom will be transformed into an art gallery.
