Hello Parents and Happy Fourth of July,
We have some exciting activities plan this month for our children in all age groups. Our preschool children will have in house field trips this month which will consist of Science Experiment “Dino Daze” and “Spin Art.” We will host a Soccer Camp on the week of July 6 – 10th and would love for your child to learn from some of the top professionals in sports. During the week of July 6-10, Splash Day will be changed to accommodate the soccer camp, so please watch out for posting in your child’s classroom and emails.
If you are looking for a way to have some fun, but don’t have a sitter no worries, we will host our parents night out on July 17th for $25 per child. This way mom and dad can go out and have fun without worrying about the kiddos. The hours for Parents Night Out are from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
Once again, thank you for choosing to spend your summer with us here at Merryhill Frisco.
Best regards,
Keisha Braggs, Principal
Alice Dawson, Asst. Principal
