Today the Fours classes went to the Goshen Campus for our annual Music Share with the Lower School.  Typically, Ms. Cindy and Kim Aberle, Lower School Music teacher, work together and all of the children sing to one another.  The Preschoolers sing their favorite songs to the JK-3 graders, and the Lower School students sing to us.  It truly is a sweet and memorable experience for everyone

                                          involved.

This year was particularly interesting because Ms. Cindy has been sick and unable to work with the Fours for the past few days.  So we surveyed the Preschoolers and asked them, "What is your favorite song?"  Well, about 99.9% of them said, "Let It Go" from the movie Frozen!  In true St. Francis spirit, Ms. Aberle began working on finding the music and lyrics in effort to make this work.  I have to say, my heart melted a little when all of the Fours and Lower School students began singing this song! It was truly a special moment that everyone will remember for years to come.  They were so dramatic, already knew the lyrics, and in my opinion stole the show, but I could be a tad bit biased.

This week has been all things Derby as all of the classes have been working on horse projects.Making sock horses, painting their floats or stitching their initials in their "silks".  They are preparing for our 19^th Running of the Preschool Derby!   

Mark your calendars for our Grandparents' Day Tea and Preschool Derby Races next week.  A parade of class floats will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m.  Afterwards, we will "Run for the Roses" by class, beginning with the Twos, and then join our special guests in classrooms for refreshments.
