Adventures of the Kindergarten Stuffies…..
Trying out the drinking fountain, sitting on the tables in the lunchroom, playing instruments in the music room, playing games in the gym and finding their seats in the classroom.

🌙🧸 STUFFY SLEEPOVER ALERT! 🧸🌙

Your stuffy will be thinking of you and will be excited to see you Monday morning on your very first day of kindergarten—and introduce you to all their new friends!

Get ready, Kindergarten… the stuffies are having a sleepover! 🥳🧸✨

Hey Burlington! We know this isn’t your first time behind the wheel (and if it is, this is definitely meant for you 👀), but it’s that time of year to throw out a few safety reminders as we head into a new school year!

With school starting next week, keep an extra eye out for buses and kids who may be a little more focused on seeing their friends than watching traffic. 😅

We also haven’t met a person yet who gets jazzed about the idea of taking the driver improvement course, so let’s remember the basics and have a safe start to the year! 🖤
