Tons of Recaps!

There is always a lot going on here at Perry! Here are some recaps of the preview weeks:

Farewell to Friends

June 7th, 2007

It was a night to remember, when Perry's kindergarten students walked up and down the steps to receive their certificates and bid "farewell" to Miss Pat.

This is Perry's last kindergarten class, as we will no longer include our kindergarten program beginning next fall.

Farewell to all our kindergarten students and we wish you the best of luck!

Field Day

June 8th, 2007

The morning and afternoon of June 8th, we had Field Day! Volunteers from Deloitte came and barbecued hot dogs, helped beautify our landscaping and took charge of the children's games. Thanks Deloitte for all your hard work, even in the rain!

Bubble Man!

June 13, 2007

I knew something exciting was about to happen when I came into work that morning. The children were gathered in the center of the play area, and I saw a gigantic metal stand with a small area on top filled with bubble mix.

"What's going on?" I asked Linda in the office.

"Bubble Man!" answered Cindy, "You have to see what he does!"

Sure enough, I was thoroughly impressed by the show.

And finally...

Why I Love Perry Reason of The Week!

Our in-house speech therapist, Julie Kennel

My office door is located directly across from the table she works at. I always get excited when she comes in, because I know I will able hear her working with the children from my office.

It's pretty amazing, but after hearing the same children over and over, I can really tell when they are improving.

Although my back is to the office door, I still feel a part of the sessions, because I am learning just as the child is.

Thank you Julie for all you do! I look forward to seeing you soon!
