End of Summer FOAM PARTY!

How can you end summer with a bang?!  A FOAM PARTY of course!  Check out all the foamy fun we had today.

Adventures with ACE Continues

This summer we challenged families to take our school mascot, ACE, along with them on their summer adventures!  ACE traveled to the beach, Disney World, the Space and Rocket Center, and many more places. Here is ACE on his latest adventure with the Widrig family.  And don't forget...our Adventures with ACE contest winner will be announced this Thursday after our Family Ice Cream Social.  One lucky family will win a FREE week of tuition!  Thanks to all of our families that participated in this fun summer contest. 


Hello!

Ace goes North in his latest adventure!  First he hopped on board a flight bound for Pittsburgh, PA.

From Pittsburgh, Ace traveled by car to West Valley, NY.  Ace got to meet Elijah's Dad's family who were all in town to celebrate a wedding.  Before the wedding Ace got an extra special treat, eh!  He went to Canada!  This is Ace by Niagara Falls with two of Elijah's cousins.

The falls were really misting and Ace and Elijah thought it was raining.

After visiting our neighbors to the North the next day we went to Elijah's Uncle's wedding.  This is his Aunt Betsy.  She is a beautiful bride!!!

Ace crossing over the Canadian border.  Just so you know, he crossed safely since he didn't need a passport.

Ace and Elijah had a wonderful trip through PA, NY and Canada.  Hope everyone has a great rest of the summer!!

Sincerely,
The Widrig family

Fall is in the Air

It might not feel like it now but fall will be here before we know it.  Soon we will have cooler temperatures (finally!) and pumpkin flavored everything.  Here is a cute Fall Bucket List your family can use to make sure you are making the most of this fun time of the year.

Pirates and Princess!

Calling all mateys and fair ladies!  It's pirates and princess week at AoCS.  It's a FANTASY filled day as we've spotted lots of pirates and princesses.  These are about the cutest pictures I've seen!  :)

Gearing Up For Fall

We've had so much fun this summer. Weekly guests, daily special snacks, water play and much more!  But as we look towards fall we highly anticipate the return of our academic curriculum, Frog Street Press.  This Saturday, our pre-k teachers took part in a hands-on training to get reacquainted with this wonderful curriculum.  We worked on morning routines, ritual greetings, circle time, and classroom management.  Frog Street also incorporates Conscious Discipline, our social curriculum that promotes self regulation skills and helps promote a healthy school family.  We are so excited to bring back these wonderful learning platforms to AoCS students.  For more information, please visit the websites below.
