🎒🍎 Calling All Incoming Kindergarten Families! 🍎🎒

Dr. Daniel Bright School is excited to welcome our newest students to Kindergarten Boot Camp!

📅 Monday & Tuesday, July 20–21
⏰ 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM

This fun two-day experience is designed to help our incoming kindergarteners become comfortable and confident before the first day of school. Students will have the opportunity to:

✅ Meet the kindergarten teachers
✅ Explore the classroom and school campus
✅ Practice kindergarten routines and expectations
✅ Make new friends
✅ Get a feel for what a typical kindergarten day is like

The best part? No big kids will be on campus—just our incoming kindergarten students! This gives our newest Falcons a chance to become familiar with their new school in a smaller, welcoming environment.

🍳 Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

🎒 Please do not send backpacks or school supplies. These will not be needed until the first day of school on Thursday, July 30th.

We can't wait to meet our newest Falcons and help them get ready for an amazing school year at Dr. Daniel Bright School! ❤️🦅
