Therapy Dog - Friday on Thursday, January 10, 2019
Our first visit with Friday was wonderful. The kids and staff really enjoyed having him in the the building. Friday is scheduled to visit bi-monthly between 9:30 and 11:00.
Please let either your child's classroom teacher or Mrs. Gibelli know if you do not want your child to visit with Friday. 

Have a Super Star week!
