It’s been a busy and joyful week at DFP! Our “leprechauns” paraded through the school for St. Patrick’s Day, while students explored all things green, rainbows, and clouds. We also celebrated the letter Q with queens, quilts, quarters, and quails!

Today, on the very first day of spring, we’re proudly rocking our socks for World Down Syndrome Day—a perfect way to welcome the season. With so much excitement in the classroom, there’s been plenty of fun and learning happening every day.

We can’t wait to see you at our Carnival on Sunday! Thanks so much for your generous donations of gift baskets, tickets, gift cards, snacks, drinks, and more—your support makes this event extra special.

Enjoy the sunshine, have a wonderful weekend, and we hope to see you Sunday!


Warmly,

Julie Martin

Our Carnival is on Sunday! Our Carnival is on Sunday!
