News From the Preschool It is hard to believe we are beginning our last month of what most of us feel is summer and things are more laid back. We hope vacations have been fun for everyone and that you have found extra family time. School will begin on August 24th with Ice Cream Socials and then regular classes start on the 25th or 26th. We will be busy getting the school cleaned and ready to go after the last day of camp which is on the 6th. If you are still looking for a preschool home or are new to the church, please give us a call for a tour. We have classes beginning at the age of 2 ½ through Junior Kindergarten. There are many schedule options and we also have before and after school kids klub. We are proud winners again of the Best of the Best Award in Highlands Ranch which is voted on by our parents and congregation. We thank each of you for your continued support and wish everyone a healthy and safe return to school! If you have any questions or would like to see the school, please call Deb or Blair at 303-471-9290.

Look for the clipboards to sign up for donations of food, beverages, and volunteer opportunities. With this being our 30th Anniversary, it has a bit a different look with more games, face-painting, and family fun. Please plan to attend!!
