Each week, we need several volunteers to track laps, assist with water/snacks, check kids in/out and supervise. The minimum number of helpers must be met for the Club to meet each week. The fall dates are Sept 2 - Oct 28 (skipping Oct 14). Please sign up for volunteer opportunities here. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

What once was an empty classroom is now a space filled with eager, enthusiastic, intelligent 3 and 4 year olds! One even stated their favorite colors are teal and aqua! What a perfect start to Deerfield’s first ever day of preschool! 💙💚

Our Kindness Kickoff assembly was the perfect opportunity to introduce new staff, review our three R’s and learn about our new Buckies! Ms. Franz walked away with the W in our staff pizza box challenge, and scholars left the assembly asking themselves what they can do each day to be kinder than necessary. 💙💚
