T-Shirts...
We're happy to announce that new t-shirts are designed and hope to have them soon. We had a minor setback with the printing, but we hope to have this resolved quickly. We were expecting to have them in time for our anniversary celebration, but at this time, it doesn't look like this will happen. We will keep you posted...

Kids Connect With Fish..
This week we had a special treat when parents from one of our classes came in and did a presentation on Siamese Fighting Fish. The children were able to see a Siamese Fighting Fish up close and read a book on fish. Everyone colored their own aquarium craft, and had 'goldfish' for a snack. A big thanks to Tony & Domenica Morreale for their contribution. The children really enjoyed it!
