1.31.25 Heart Highlights 

On Monday we will have officially made it to the 100th day of school, and what an amazing journey it’s been so far! From learning new skills to making new friends, we’ve reached this exciting milestone together.  On this special day, we celebrate not only the progress we've made but also the excitement and curiosity that continues to fuel our growth as learners. Whether it's counting to 100, completing fun activities, or reflecting on all we've accomplished, the 100th day reminds us how much we’ve achieved — and how much more we’re capable of!  Thank you to our families for being such an important part of this journey. We look forward to the second half of the year filled with even more growth, joy, and learning. Let’s make the rest of the year just as memorable as the first 100 days!
