FRIDAY NOVEMBER 30TH

This Friday, November 30th, we will celebrate "Color Day" in Pre-K.  We will be doing various "color" activities to bring closure to our study of colors.  As part of our celebration, we would like for the children to wear ANY COLOR OF SHOES (ANY STYLE) to school on Friday.  We will be taking photos of the children in their shoes and creating a class book.  Other than their shoes, children should still wear dress code on Friday.
