 Winter Social Sign Up Deadline Extended We’ve extended the sign-up deadline for our winter social! Unlike most of our field trips, this is a FREE event where all of our teachers will be present. If you are looking for your student to connect with others in their class and for you to meet other parents, you will want to attend! It will take place on Friday, December 6th from 9:30am-11:30am at the Westwind Community Center in Ontario. Classes will spend time together playing games, participating in crafts, and enjoying a Magician who will be performing tricks from around the world (there will be an alternative activity available during the magic show). The event registration will be open until December 2nd or when we reach our maximum student capacity. We hope to see you there! Click here to sign up. |
