Thank you to all our families for attending Family Night! The kids did a great job setting up their popcorn stand serving everyone. I hope everyone enjoyed the movie!

Here are a couple of their favorite popcorn combos:

  • Something sweet: white chocolate, strawberries, Oreos
  • Something salty: Ranch powder, Cheez-Its, pretzels, and goldfish

This past month, the kids completed their bracket competition, as March Madness came to an end. We had a three-way tie between three groups of children who all had 1,570 points. Congrats to these children who will work together to choose cooking projects for us to do at After School:

  • Jamey, Sonya, Jayceon
  • Danesh
  • Theo, Ayden, Kam, Levi

As we near the end of the school year, we look forward to warm weather and spending as much time outside as possible. We hope to do more STEM activities like parachutes, volcanos, and cooking.
