Greeting SELC PK Families,
Welcome to April! April is the month of the military child. SELC has a number of military families as well as teachers who have children in the military. Let's PURPLE UP to show our support on April 4th by wearing purple! You can show your support all month long by PURPLING UP! See below for some ideas!
•String up purple mini or fairy lights or update your outdoor lights with purple bulbs.
•Wear or accessorize with purple!
•Bake up a batch of sugar cookies or cupcakes and top with purple sprinkles.
•Decorate your home or office with purple flowers.
•Show everyone how special this month is to you and your family.
REMINDER: We are so excited that our Eaglets will be represented in this year's art show! We hope you can attend the event on TONIGHT or TOMORROW! See the flyer below!
Just to reiterate, IF YOUR CHILD ATTENDS ENFIELD HEAD START, INTEGRATED PK, OR THE PK STEAM ACADEMY, you do NOT have to register your child for K as the PK registration will roll over to Kindergarten!
