DFP Family Update
October 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
