We welcome your comments and we depend on your participation.  Here’s how you can help in the Early Elementary Classroom:

• Volunteer to mentor the Early Elementary children in two to six week intervals. We will need six parents to sign up for two topics each. These can be two separate 3-week sessions or one consecutive 6 week session. A training class will be offered.
• Donate dollars or age-appropriate books or craft items to the children/classroom.

Please let us know if you or your child has any concerns about the class.  We look forward to our year with your child!
