Dad’s Night – Dads Night was a fun-filled special event. It was wonderful seeing the children so excited to attend with their dad, grandpas, or uncle. The children and their dads visited the classrooms, watched Jeff the Juggler, enjoyed a treat from Kona Ice, and went shopping at the book fair. Thank you so much for your encouragement and support for this wonderful event!
