Ashland Preschool Update
October 10th , 2025
There will be no school on Monday October 13th in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. This is a time to honor and recognize the original people of this land, the Native American and Indigenous communities who have lived here for thousands of years and who continue to contribute to our society today. It is a day to acknowledge their history, culture, traditions, and resilience.
We are excited to welcome our families in next week for our Fall Fest activities. The children are looking forward to celebrating the season and sharing fun fall-themed experiences with their special guests.
Enjoy the long weekend,
Amanda
