DFP Family UpdateOctober 3, 2025

Dear Feeney Families,


The fall season is finally upon us, although this weekend's weather may evoke a sense of summer. Students are immersed in curriculum experiences that explore fall, foliage, apples, emotions, and the shared characteristics and unique attributes of our community.

A sense of belonging is fostered through engaging read alouds, classroom discussions, and “all about me” sharing sessions during snack time. We are immensely proud of the students’ progress and hard work in these first few weeks and look forward to so much more.

Have a wonderful weekend!


Warmly,

Julie Martin

We Love Books at DFP!

Our preschool is raising funds to grow our classroom libraries with high-quality books that spark curiosity, imagination, and a love of reading. Having a wide variety of books allows every child to see themselves reflected in stories, explore new ideas, and build early literacy skills that are the foundation for lifelong learning. With your support, we can place more books into the hands of our youngest learners and create joyful reading experiences every day.
