Kinderwhale Kickoff

Last Thursday, our school transformed into a vibrant playground of excitement as we hosted the Kinderwhale Kickoff, an exclusive event for our newest members: our Kindergarten families! Designed to introduce our little learners and their parents to our school community in a fun and engaging way, the day was filled with joy and anticipation.
From the moment the doors opened, children's laughter echoed through the halls as they explored the new campus and enjoyed refreshing popsicles on the patio. Parents had the opportunity to connect with other kindergarten families, ask questions, and gain valuable insights into the upcoming school year. Our dedicated teachers were on hand to offer reassurance and share their enthusiasm for the year ahead. The event perfectly blended learning and fun, creating a strong foundation for a successful school year.
We were overwhelmed by the positive feedback from both children and parents. The Kinderwhale Kickoff was a resounding success in fostering a sense of community and excitement within our school. We look forward to many more wonderful events as we support our youngest students on their educational journey.
