Grecian Study and The First Snow











playing in the snow tuckers you out!










The children have had such a great year so far! We've had two snowdays this winter and they have been making snow angels, miniature snowmen, castles and more. They are also enjoying dressing in traditional Greek costumes.
Many of the parents donated towards a large gift fund. Jake's mom organized everything and Shazi's mom helped wrap the many new materials purchased for the classrooms. Thank you so much for contributing to such a wonderful surprise. Thank you to everyone else who has brought such thoughful presents for the teachers. We appreciate it so much!
We hope you all have a wonderful holiday break and we'll see you in 2011!
