BEEP, BEEP… school starts tomorrow! 🚌

Keep an 👀 out for those big yellow buses rolling around!

Please pack an extra dose of patience as drivers are learning new routes and timing to get our kiddos to and from school safely.

Allow yourself a little extra travel time in the morning!

Check out the graphic below for a quick refresher on North Carolina School Bus Stop Laws so we can all keep our kids and drivers safe. 🛑👇

🎒Our future Falcons soared through their 3-day First Flight adventure, and we loved every minute!

They explored their new school with a fun scavenger hunt, got creative with crafts, played in classroom centers, listened to read-alouds, and even had snack time in the cafeteria. Of course, there was plenty of time for fun on the playground too! 🧩📚🖍️

They took a big step toward being kindergarten-ready…. Only two more weeks!

We can’t wait to welcome our newest little Falcons this fall! ❤️💙
