November & December P.E. Plans

Time of the year when we remind ourselves to be thankful of who and what we have in our lives.  Several things I am thankful for include:

• Seeing the excitement of a child when they accomplish something they had thought impossible...every day.
• See the world through a child's eyes and learning from their perspectives.
• Being a part of a great community and great staff.
• My family and I are healthy and safe.

Enjoy this time of the year with your families!
