Guidestone Offering Parenting Tools Series Ohio Guidestone will offer a Toolbox Series for Parents beginning this month.
Winterfest Celebrated Individual Head Start classrooms enjoyed a variety of activities to mark the holiday season. Parents can see what their child’s classroom did by logging in to ClassTag. Above, Wellington students sing “Five Little Snowmen.” Below, Griswold students perform. Far below, Cascade students recorded their presentation and posted it on ClassTag.
