Pumpkin Painting!

In honor of Halloween coming up and all of the creative pumpkin ideas this time of year, we are holding a pumpkin painting contest at Holly Tree!  We've had some amazing entries and can't wait to see who's voted our Prize Pumpkin Painter! There are so many different kinds of designs you can paint and I've seen some I never would have thought of... Sponge Bob, Dora - when I say creative, I really mean it!  Thank you to everyone who's entered a pumpkin!  I'm excited to see who comes out on top :)

Fire Truck Visits!

This morning was a BIG morning here at Holly Tree! The coolest thing at the fire station came to visit and it brought all kinds of cool things like fire-fighter equipment, a tall tall ladder, and a loud horn!  If you guessed our local fire truck - you are correct!  The kids had a blast playing on it and learned some great information along the way.  Since this week was Fire Prevention week we wanted to show the children just who has to show up when there's a fire and what kinds of tools they use to put out a fire.  The fire-men talked with our students about when to call 911, what to wear while riding a bike, and what to always put on when you get in the car.  We were very blessed to have them out so here's one more great big thank you to our Brentwood fire department!

World Smile Day Visit!

Dr. Buzz - a family friendly dentist in our neighborhood, Brentwood, stopped by for a visit last Friday.  We were excited to talk to our students about keeping their smiles healthy and strong and were very pleased with the fun and interactive talk given by Dr. Buzz's staff!  Thank you so much Dr. Buzz!  I know we learned a lot, like brushing our teeth at least twice a day, brushing our teeth front and back and round and round.  We also learned that flossing is important too for those pesky germs that like to play hide-and-seek!  It was a great experience and we're looking forward to having you back Dr. Buzz!

Happy Belated World Smile Day!

Open House!

We had an amazing Open House this week complete with fun games and fellowship!  Our teachers worked hard at pulling together different samples of your child's work and putting together activities for our families to participate in, all while getting to know their teacher and classroom!  It was a fun time had by all and the directors enjoyed going from room to room and watching the interactions!  We're looking forward to next year and hope you can all make it out again!
