Reindeer Food

Yesterday our families made magical reindeer food to sprinkle on their lawn on Christmas Eve.  Santa always gets the milk and cookies but we need to make sure Rudolph and his other reindeer friends don't go hungry! The food is made up of oats and magical crystals!  "Sprinkle on the lawn at night, the moon will make it sparkle bright.  As Santa's reindeers fly and roam, this will guide them to your home."

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas from The Academy of Cool Springs.

Christmas Programs

Pre-K One and Pre-K Two have been working for weeks on their Christmas program.  Yesterday was the big day!  We all bundled up and went outside for some old fashioned caroling.  Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles all watch with their hot chocolate in hand.  A big congrats to all the Pre-K children for a great show!  And a big thanks to our Pre-K teachers, Ms. Sebrina, Ms. Maya, Ms. Robin and Ms. Kristen for all their hard work!

 Yummy hot chocolate and cookie bar.
