End of the Day Pick Up
We are noticing with the nice weather that families are wanting to stay to visit during the end of the day pick-up.  We want to encourage our community to socialize and have children play and have fun.  We only ask that families wait until the parking lot has cleared to provide a safer environment.  It has been challenging to keep the pick-up area safe with children running around.  Thank you!
