Last day of Labrador Hollow at AoHV!

The children have really enjoyed the Labrador Hollow Learning Program every Friday this month. Last week the children got to dress up and have their picture made and the ladies brought the portraits to us today for them to take home. They also taught the children about being respectful, having patience and listening to their hearts. Today, they taught them how to put the "icing on the cake" and they got to eat their cupcakes at snack time. We are so happy & fortunate to be blessed with the devotion of these teachers & authors that came to visit our school.

Art From The Heart Auction

     We are pleased to announce our annual artwork auction is on display in the enrichment room! Each child had a hand in the projects and everyone involved with helping, worked very hard to make the artwork special and beautiful! The kids love putting effort into art & the finished project is so sweet! The last day to bid is Friday, April 29th.

     Branches is a non-profit Christian ministry that focuses on helping employees, families, the community and beyond by providing emergency assistance through prayer requests, financial support, encouragement & hope.

Picnic Time At AOHV!

The weather held out long enough for us to enjoy our annual morning spring picnic! The children had yummy sack lunches with goldfish, bananas, cookies, turkey & cheese roll ups and chips. We used blankets to sit on while we listened to the birds chirp, enjoyed the sunshine and felt the wind blow. It's such a nice feeling to know that we create warm and pleasant memories like this spring picnic for these children and parents to remember forever! This event creates a sense of belonging to more than a school, but an intertwined family of parents, caregivers, and the most precious group, your children.

Bruce Amato visits for a Magic Show!

The kids always enjoy when Mr. Bruce Amato comes to visit our center! He is very funny and makes the best illusions come to life. The kids laugh so much and his tricks are amazing to them! The joy and wonder concerning magic is a childhood gift that we can all appreciate throughout the years. Thanks so much for lighting up our life Mr. Bruce!

Labrador Hollow Comes To Visit!

Today we had some special guests from Labrador Hollow visit our school to talk about a great program called "Live, Love and Learn". The program is based on the core concepts of positive learning about how to live responsibly in our communities. The stories inspire the children to treat others respectfully, and to follow their heart to become truthful, kind, loyal, committed, confident and passionate individuals. The stories from Labrador Hollow also remind children that we all make mistakes that we learn from and if we fall down, we be brave and get right back up!

Enrichment Time!

Today was music and movement enrichment class at AOHV and it was wonderful! The sounds of laughter filled the halls as the kids held a parachute and bounced an Earth ball on top of it. They enjoyed bubbles and learned how to take turns running under the parachute. This kind of activity is perfect for all ages as it teaches them to learn through physical, visual, and auditory experiences as well as creating a colorful and positive memory that will last a lifetime. Great job listening to the instructions today kids!

Friday Celebration For Hard Work!

What a nice way to celebrate our teacher's hard work but to have Anne schedule the Kestner Chiropractic group come in and give all the teachers free back and neck massages! The staff of AOHV really appreciated the opportunity to relax with soothing music and eat fresh fruit, cheese, hummus and crackers.
