Mrs. Brennan's Lil' Rudolphs want to say...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We love you!

Even Floyd the Frog wants to say, " Merry Christmas!" ribbit. ribbit.

Gingerbread Houses

What a memory we made yesterday. Our classroom, along with the other 3 Kindergarten rooms all created little candy masterpieces. The gingerbread houses looked terrific and from what the KinderKids have told me, they tasted delicious, too!

Thank you to all the families who donated items, prep the houses, and/or came to help create them! I have such a loving and giving group of parents and Kinders this year!
