BEACH DAY!!!

Today Perry celebrated Beach Day!!! With the weather looking so bleak lately, we decided to warm things up and pretend it was summer. Coincidentally, this happened to occur on, appropriately, the coldest day of 2008! We cranked up our thermostats, put on our bathing suits, donned our sunglasses and had a ball!!! The classrooms engaged in various activities, such as fishing in the water table, swimming in a pool of shaving cream, dancing to beach party music, examining shells, playing with sea creature toys, creating ocean and beach art, eating a picnic lunch on our beach towels and many other fun beach activities. We had such a blast!

Perry welcomes Miss Shelly

Perry Nursery welcomes Miss Shelly to the Gold Room! She is the new head teacher there and brings in a wealth of knowledge and experience to the classroom. Her year so far has been great and is glad to be at Perry.

Thanks for making Perry's Holidays Great!

Perry is very grateful for the community involvement this past holiday season. Our families and staff thank all of those involved in making our holiday season wonderful.

Employees at Chase Bank brought Santa over for an early visit in December, bearing gifts for the children and a yummy lunch for the students and staff. Here is Santa talking to a Blue Room student and the Blue Room children opening their gifts, fabulous art sets for them to express their creativity. Thank you for your generosity Chase Bank!!!

The Parish at St. Francis of Assissi Catholic Church, also arranged a beautifully decorated and fun party for us. Church members made and served a delicious dinner, coordinated games with prizes, arranged crafts for the children to make and even asked Santa to visit! There was an incredible amount to do, as well as eat! :) The students and families enjoyed the party very much Thanks St. Francis of Assissi Parish for your gracious thoughtfulness!
