Hello Kinder! Happy November. Little minds are working hard here on campus and in DL.
As a reminder, as the weather gets colder, please remember to send your scholars in non-pop culture warm attire.
Joke of the week:
I travel around the world, yet I stay in the same corner. What am I?"
Last weeks answer:
None of them--it's a coconut tree.
