Jog-a-thon News
A huge “Thank You” to all the parents and volunteers for a great jog-a-thon! We loved seeing all the parents come out and cheer for the children! All the students did such an amazing job running as fast as they could and trying to get as many laps as possible run in 5 minutes. There were as many as 10 laps by preschool and 20 plus laps by an elementary student. The Citron Campus would also like to thank all the family and friends who sponsored children and helped with our jog-a-thon fundraiser. Great job everyone!
Preschool Is Watching Their Gardens Grow
Preschoolers love to help with all types of activities, and gardening is no exception. The children love to dig in the garden and water plants. This year we are providing our students the opportunity to grow flowers, fruits, and vegetables in their own class gardens! This is part of a new outdoor education component added to our preschool curriculum. Over the past week we have seen the children digging holes, gently patting the soil around newly placed plants and watering. Even though we have installed a drip system the students are watering their own plants. We have taken care to include only child-safe plants in our gardens. Our collection of gardening tools is just beginning and we would appreciate any donations especially small watering cans or any kid-sized gardening implements.We can't wait to watch as the garden continues to grow and flourish!
