Kindergarten

Service to the community is an important aspect of our class and helps the students learn stewardship for society. Our class will make four visits to Creston Village with cards and gifts for the residence. In addition to our visiting Creston Village our class will participate in the Canned Food Drive, Coats for Kids, Toys for Tots and Operation Rice Bowl.

Field trips are an important part of our classroom curriculum. Trips planned for this year include: The Pumpkin Farm, Rancho El Chorro, and tours of local areas of importance that teach us about our Community. Chaperones are needed for all field trips. Please watch for information in my weekly newsletters.
