Give a big cheer for a new school year!

Here at Gateway things are taking off in the new school year! We have some new and familiar faces around the school and lots of exciting things to look forward to in the upcoming months! We ended our summer program with a splash at our Hawaiian Luau Splash Day.  Everyone dressed in their bathing suits and we had some fun in our new sprinkler, played with water toys, and even ate delicious fruit kabobs!

The kiddos are finding their way into their new classes with new teachers who spent teacher planning day getting the classrooms all gussied up for the new arrivals.  This week, school-wide, teachers have been focusing on establishing a positive classroom/school community, creating class rules with input from the kiddos, and lessons on what it means to be a good friend.  Starting the school year with consistent reinforcement and positive attitudes will create the classroom environment every child will want to be a part of!

We also celebrated Grandparents Day this Friday and had an amazing turnout! The grandparents joined us for muffins (and coffee for them) and afterward did a special craft with their grandchild's class.  Some even stayed longer to join us outside in chalk drawings and playtime. Thank you to all the grandparents who came to support their CMLC kiddo!

Things have started off wonderfully here at our Gateway school and it can only get better from here! We have a lot of fun and exciting events to look forward to such as; field trips, dress up days, family potlucks, holiday parties, etc... We can't wait to dive into more fun with our awesome CMLC kiddos and families!
