1. Outstanding Meridian Campus Location News: Patty and John have signed the lease and construction has started on the new property! Yeah! We’re looking forward to settling in to our new Meridian Campus. To accommodate the transition, we have slightly changed some of June’s schedule:

June 7-10--We will need to move the kitchen over before we begin the school program; therefore, we will have sack lunches June 7-10.
June 10--Our Kindergarten Graduation for Ms. Gina’s class will be on June 10th.
June 11—Parent and Teacher Conferences at BOTH campuses. Unfortunately, we will postpone our Father’s Day Fishing Trip.
June 14 -16—We will be closed for moving on both campuses. We would like the Jean Road Staff available to help in the move.
June 17 and 18—Grand Opening: We will be OPEN at the new campus, albeit transitioning to the new building.
June 21—First day of Summer Program at our new facility!

2. Jean Road 4-5 year old Class: Starting this summer and continuing in the fall, our Jean Road facility will off a 4-5 years transitional Kindergarten class.
