Hello Everyone!
I cannot believe that it is almost August and the time to go back to school is upon us. I hope you have all enjoyed our summer and have had some time to relax.
New Assistant
I am excited to welcome the new assistant for our class. Her name is Sara Weaver. I have had the privilege to know Sara for the past 3 years. She has become a dear friend and someone that I trust and know will be a great addition to our classroom. If you would like to know more about her, her brief bio is contained on a page at the top of the site.

Snack
The snack sign up is ready to go. You can find it at the right of the blog or here: https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/rizyn. Please sign up for 1 or 2 weeks throughout the year. Snack is provided not to fill the children’s bellies or be a meal but to help them learn independence in preparing snack and cleaning it up. It also allows a little extra boost of energy at mid-morning. There is a page at the top of the blog with healthy snack ideas for the kids. You can also shoot me an email if you have any questions about any snacks.
