International Day of Peace is Sunday, September 21^st – We will be observing it this Friday, September 19^th.

• PTO will be hosting a Meet & Greet Coffee and Donuts from 10:00-11:00 in the Multipurpose Room.
• The children will be singing and signing the song, “Light a Candle for Peace,” from 11:00-11:15.
• Parents are welcome to come and watch outside in our back patio area.
• Half day children can be picked up after the performance; please let the office know if you’re picking up early.

There will not be a time for children and parents to meet before, during or after the singing. If you are coming that morning, please let your child know that you will be there to watch, but will not be picking up at that time. There have been a few tears in the past due to this possible misunderstanding.

Practice Singing & Signing “Light a Candle for Peace” with your child– A big Thank You to Ms. Lori from the Oak room, who composed a Mashup of the song for us!
