After this time, spots will be opened up to the public and your child will not be guaranteed a space for next year. We look forward to seeing you back for next year! **If we are the first class to have all registration forms returned we will have a pizza party and movie afternoon the Friday before March Break. Drinks and chips/treats will be included!!**
