Open House:
  • 2:00 Release Day
  • 5:30 to 6:15 Teachers are in their classrooms, so parents who aren't able to come during the day can see what's up. This does not mean to decorate with special things. The kids can simply show their parents around. It should be their regular work or posters that are seen on a daily basis.

  • 6:20 to 7:00 Food truck time!
