Our PTO President, Lindsey Evans attended the State Support Team 6 meeting last night to assist in helping local districts communicate needs with their parents.
We also may be having "a Support Fair" in the future so that parents can learn about the local support organizations for their special needs children.

Thank you SOOO much to one of our PTO families for donating their Labor Day Weekend to putting stencils and sensory fun on our Playground benches!

Thank you to the Hillclimber Basketball Boys for helping to clean out our large sandbox!

One of the awesome examples of updates that we have done at the playground. Thank you so much to these amazing volunteers who were out all weekend working on these benches!

We had a great turnout for Clean Up Day! We had 14 people (adults and kids) help beautify the playground!

Thank you to all who spent your morning making our Playground safe!

We were able to clean all the stationary equipment with a power washer, clean and place imaginative play stations in the Bair House (cabin), pull weeds from the asphalt and start to strip peeled paint off the benches.

We will be discussing other items at our PTO meeting on Thursday, September 8th 6-7:30pm

Our Preschool Playground Clean Up Day is tomorrow at 9am! We hope to have a nice size group so that we can be finished quickly.

Thank you to all who have already committed to being there! Let us know if you'd like to help. Free coffee and donuts!

Another school year is almost here! Did you know the we are the ONLY 5 Star Rated Preschool in Champaign County?!

Make sure that you're registered for a time at the Open House on Aug 22nd!
We will have sign ups available for those interested in helping with the PTO!

All PTO monthly meetings this year will be a maximum of 90 minutes. Starting at 6pm and ending by 7:30pm. Day of the week to be determined.
