THE ALL SAINTS’ DAY SCHOOL

Dee Dean, Director

A scholarship grant, received through the All Saints’ Scholarship Fund, allowed fourteen of the Day School’s staff to attend the VAECE (Virginia Association of Early Childhood Education) Conference in February. We attended a variety of workshops and brought back to school a lot of excellent, relevant information for sharing, discussion, and application. We are better teachers for having attended and appreciate the Scholarship Fund Committee’s consideration and generosity.

March was a busy month for the Day School. We celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday, had a fun-filled “Pajama Day” with everyone wearing pj’s to school, held our annual art show, and a Scholastic Book Fair.
