They were welcomed by Mrs. Tibbitts, Ms. Mirona and Mrs. Boice in the Parish Hall. Snack was the first business of the day! Next, they enjoyed participating in story telling with Ms. Lib, Dance with Mrs. Ott and had lots of fun with Coach Stewart working their way through the obstacle course. To close out the day...the VPK visited the Kindergarten classroom and the Kindergarten students got to visit with Mrs. Lawrence in the 1st Grade Classroom. A sneak preview into their futures! Our visiting parents were able to tour our school with the help of Mrs. Raume and Mrs. Boice! We send out a thank you to all who helped to make this day possible and to Jill Valley, the Director of the Cathedral Parish Early Ed Center. Such a fun day!!!

It is festival time again and we need our CPS families to start saving their eggs. Directions for how to save your eggs are on the CPS/PTO website just click on the egg picture. Send in your eggs to your classroom and the room that collects the most eggs will win a 50 dollar gift certificate for their class! We also need a chair for this event at the festival. You would be responsible for gathering and making the eggs and also being the chair at the festival. There will be a workshop before the festival for other volunteers to come in and help make the eggs. If you need hours this is a great way to get them all in!
