[Wednesday, Jun 10 at 7:08 PM]
Due to the Excessive Heat Warning and forecasted "real-feel" temperatures approaching 100 degrees for our International Day of Play tomorrow, June 11, we have made the decision to reschedule the event to Wednesday, June 24. With four of our six planned play stations taking place outdoors, we believe this change is necessary to ensure the safety, comfort, and well-being of our students and staff. We look forward to celebrating a fun-filled International Day of Play with our students on June 24.
Thank you!
