PEDP Newsletter April 2024

The Reviews are in and Best of Broadway was a success! The kids, under the direction of Miss Jamie, did a wonderful job with all three of the shows! Thank you to all who helped out and all who came to see the show. We appreciate the support 🙂
Curriculum Theme
From polar bears to pineapples, we had a great time learning about Alaska and Hawaii last month.  April’s theme is Wonders of the World.  We look forward to discovering many new facts about the many interesting places that are a part of our world.
 
Field Trips
The Barracudas had a fun time at The Butterfly Place.  So many of the kids were excited to share how many butterflies landed on them while on the trip.  The Sharks had their first trip of the year to Xtreme Craze for a game of laser tag and play in the air park.  They were active for about two hours straight!  All three fish groups will have trips on the next early release day, Thursday, May 9.  Information on each trip will be sent out in the next few weeks.
 
Classes
Movement and Mindfulness is  a program designed to teach techniques that have been researched and proven to help lower stress, alleviate anxiety and bring balance to the body. Using inspiring music, these engaging sessions begin with movement followed by relaxation techniques and other mindfulness practices.  This class is held for the Minnows on Tuesdays from 4/23 – 5/28. You can find more information about the class on the Parent Portal
