*Attention parents: We want to let you know that another friend was diagnosed with strep throat. We have taken care to sanitize Wee Friends and hope that it runs its course over the weekend! Hope all our friends feel better soon.

Today was a bittersweet day as we said farewell to two of our Wee Friends! This morning, we had a short graduation ceremony, complete with graduation caps and Pomp and Circumstance. Friends gathered in the reading area as our graduates walked down the aisle.

They were presented with their graduation certificates and a special photo album filled with goodbye messages and pictures from their many years at Wee Friends.

We continued this special day with some water play! The sprinkler and water table were a great way to cool off in all this humidity.

Balancing containers of water requires a lot of focus and concentration!

In addition this week we have been working on a special paper mache project: we made our very own three-legged unicorn piñata! Friends each took a turn whacking the unicorn. Cassie took the very last hit, breaking it open. Some goodies (pencils/stickers/little horns) were inside!

It’s been a wonderful day celebrating our graduates.

Best of luck in Kindergarten, Eleanor and Owen! We will miss you so much.
