Grandparents may begin arriving at 9:00 am for refreshments by the gym. The program will begin at 9:30 in the Gym.

DRIVELINE
During the AM and PM driveline please make sure to use your blinker as you are entering and exiting the curb line.

We appreciate your partnering as we try to load kids as quickly and safely as possible.
