Dear Families,
I hope everyone is having a great week! Here’s what’s happening!
**PLEASE NOTE: The Life Center elevator is still not working and will most likely NOT be repaired by Sunday as they are waiting to receive a replacement part. If you need to use an elevator to access nursery, please use the elevator in the Welcome Center. Nursery can be accessed from there by going through the Solarium and courtyard. If you have questions, please check with Tami at the reception desk and she will be happy to help guide you!
*Sign up for kindergarten & 5th grade Christmas Eve Participants at the bottom of this email!!
