End of May

We are coming to the end of our official school year, and are preparing to start our summer session. Summers are a lot of fun for little children, and we do our best to make summers at The Academy of Arts and Knowledge Preschool great fun for our students. The summer session starts officially on June 4th. There will be a few changes in classrooms, but they will be wonderful changes. Our preschool classroom will be taught by Ms. Scheffer. Ms. Scheffer is currently our Pre-K teacher, and will be teaching the preschool this summer. This way, she will get to know our students that will be in pre-K in the fall, helping with the transition to that classroom. She will be assisted by Ms. Ashley. Our Pre-K classroom will be taught by Mrs. Van Horn. Mrs. V. currently teaches in the Pre-K classroom, and will be moving to kindergarten in the fall. She will get to know the students going to kindergarten this fall, helping them make that transition easier. She will be assisted by Mrs. K, who also currently works in the Pre-K classroom. We will also have a few new "helpers" this summer. Mrs. Ferrara will be coming in to help with the middle of the day, when we are doing lunches and naptime. She has been working at TPAAK for a year, and is very excited to work with our preschool this summer. Ms. Mahaffey will be working in the afternoons this summer. She is currently working at the front desk at TPAAK and will be closing daily for us. The students all know and love her, and I know that she will have a lot of fun with them this summer. Mrs. Erickson is coming back to help out in the Pre-K classroom as well. She is currently a kindergarten teacher, and knows a lot of our students already. Mrs. S will still be around, a lot! I will be working in both classroom, and planning a lot of fun activities for our students. I will also be getting everything ready for the fall session. I am so excited about our summer at AAKP! We are going to have a lot of fun with your children, and can't wait! If you have any questions about the summer program, please feel free to contact me: sschlagenhauf@tpaak.org.
