Dear Parents,

Our summer break will officially start June 3rd, 2013! We are excited to get the summer fun flowing!

We have many fun activities planned for everyone and wanted to just give you a heads up on some of them….

 

SPLASH DAY for everyone 2 years and older will be every Tues starting June 4th until Aug 20th. Please send your child to school in either a swim suit or extra clothes that can get wet. If your child comes to school in a swim suit please just make sure they have clothes over it that will keep them dressed until their time to go outside. Please provide a towel and a set of dry clothes for the rest of the day. Our splash day consists of water based activities, small sprinklers, and water toys.

A Nutty Professor will come to visit to teach us all about WILD SCIENCE.  We will get to jump to the moon and back in a moonwalk. We will get to observe the starry night sky in a traveling planetarium and much more….  In school activities allows the students to experience summer fun fieldtrips while staying at Avalon.
