Our first-ever Letteland Parade was a huge success! We loved seeing all of our favorite Letterland characters come to life, from Clever Cat and Firefighter Fred to Kicking King and Vicky Violet. A big thank you to all the families who attended or viewed online, and an extra shout-out for the amazing costumes you helped create. We also want to thank our dedicated kindergarten teachers for pouring their hearts into guiding our students’ learning every day. What a fantastic celebration of early literacy and creativity!
