A Note from Mrs. Kaber: 

I pray your families are staying healthy! Please review the Health and Safety Protocols on when to keep sick kids home. 
With the temperatures dropping, please remember to dress your child for outdoor recess. A Winter coat with a hood and hat and gloves are appropriate. I gifted each child a pair of gloves at Christmas. If you would like to keep them in their cubby at school, this will help keep their hands warm during recess and will help with chapping and cracks. 
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out!

In Him,

Mrs. Kaber

A Note from Mrs. Kaber:

I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing Christmas and New Years with their families!
I am so very proud of our kindergarten class on their chapel message of the birth of Jesus. If you were unable to join us for chapel, it was recorded. Here is the link to watch. Because it was livestream, it recorded 6 minutes before the chapel started. I would begin at 6:00 for the exact start time :) Kindergarten Christmas Chapel

Happy New Year!

In Him,

Mrs. Kaber
