Dear Touchstone Families,

On behalf of the entire staff, I would like to wish each of you a new year filled with peace, good health, and happiness. I hope all of you were able to take time to relax over Winter Break and took time to enjoy company with family and friends. We are excited to have the students back in the classrooms and moving forward on their educational journeys.

I want to take this opportunity to let you know about the three After School classes we are currently offering. These classes are a great opportunity for students to gain experiences and development their movement, all while staying in an environment they are safe and comfortable in. For sign up information, please see the person at the front desk.

• Tumble Bus is an actual bus that will be coming on Mondays starting on January 22 with a FREE trial class on Monday, January 8. The gutted bus has been turned into a gymnasium for students to jump, tumble, and move. Students ages 2-5 can participate.
• Webby’s Dance takes place in one of our classrooms and students learn to move to music, basic dance skills, and utilize props to express themselves. Webby’s Dance takes place each Tuesday for students aged 2-5.
• Soccer Shots is a 10-week soccer academy that takes place each Thursday beginning on January 11. There are two different classes available based on age; Mini for 2-3 year olds and Classic for 4-5 year olds. Soccer Shots is a high energy program that introduces children to fundamental principles.

On Wednesday, January 17, Touchstone School will be honoring all the dad’s in our community by hosting a Dad’s Night from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. Each student is invited to bring their father or other important adult in their life to come and enjoy a fun craft and a snack. We hope to see you all there!

Thank you,

Gordon Kingsley; Principal
