Did you know our Lost and Found is growing quite full? If you notice your child is missing something please have them check the lost and found as it might be there. If you are in the building helping out at any point or during drop off/pick up and you’d like to take a look yourself please feel free to check it out! We donate clothing items at the end of each trimester so please keep this in mind as all this will be donated at the end of November.
