The season of giving is here, and our calendar is packed with opportunities to give to others. Take a look at the upcoming events and let me know if you have any questions.

1) Thanksgiving Feast - Tuesday, November 26
Together, the students and faculty are thrilled to celebrate all the things we are thankful for on Tuesday. Please be sure you bring in the ingredients you signed up for for our cookie baking THIS Monday, November 25. Take a look at our Feast Sign Up sheet for reference. Please note, the Kindergarten class is still in need of one parent volunteer to help with serving and clean up from 12:00 - 2:30 ish. Please sign up if you can volunteer.

Have family, friends, coworkers, or neighbors with children preparing for Kindergarten? Invite them to Willowwind's annual Preschool to Kindergarten Transition Night to learn more about Willowwind's Kindergarten program. I will be on hand to discuss the important transition from preschool to kindergarten and explore topics like project-based learning, community service initiatives and Willowwind's dedication to a small classroom environment. Other Willowwind faculty members will also be on hand to answer questions and provide information about Willowwind's curriculum, interactive specials classes and after-school enrichment programs. Encourage those you know to attend the event and RSVP by Friday, December 6. Interested in helping? Visit Sign Up Genius for volunteer opportunities. Child care will be available for toilet-trained children during the event.
