Santa Visits!

The big man in red visited AoCS to make sure all the little ones were being good.  He visited us during breakfast time and then we got to take our pictures with him and tell him what we wanted for Christmas.  All parents will get an email soon about how to access your child's picture with Santa.  Merry Christmas from The Academy!

Bike Day!

The rain can't keep us away from our bike day!  This week's curriculum focuses on bikes, trikes, and wagons.  It was a tad wet but the kids loved to get outside and show off their riding skills.

 Harper and his big wheels.

 Chase trying to smile despite his helmet strap, ha.

Peppermint Contest

This week parents and kids participated in a guessing game to see how many peppermints are in the jar.  We had lots of guesses ranging anywhere from 1 to 10,000!  The correct answer was 266 and congrats The Larson family for their guess of 262.  They won a $50 gift card to Toys-R-Us to help out with holiday shopping.

Trimming Our Tree

Check out these adorable pictures of Preschool One hanging their homemade ornaments on the tree.  Each class made a special ornament for our school tree.  Be sure to ask your child which ornament is theirs.
