As we enter July I hope the rains will subside so the kids can spend some time outside exploring all that our community has to offer with our walkways, ponds, and some outside water fun. July and August are also the times to update forms, so throughout the next few months you will be asked to update these. Please bear with us as we have tried to spread out so you don’t have to update everything at the same time. We also have a Parent Facebook page for parents to communicate, set up play dates, and share information. If you are not a part of this group, please let us know as it is a closed group that is by invitation only. Have a great Fourth of July!
