Dear ACG Families,

This is the final edition of the Garden News for this school year, and I am grateful for the dedication and support we received from you throughout the year for our staff and school. We accomplished much this year by working together and reconnecting as a community. We received our NAEYC reaccreditation and we reinstated many of our beloved traditions and celebrations. We couldn’t have done it with you and we appreciate your help in reaching our goals and furthering our legacy of guiding young children as they learn and grow. It was a fantastic year that went by much too fast and we hope you feel the same.

For those of you who are leaving the Garden because your child is moving on to kindergarten, or you are not returning for another reason, we wish you and your family nothing but the best. We will miss seeing you each day, but please remember that our alumni are important to us, and we want to know what great accomplishments your children achieve. You are also invited to Goblins in the Garden in the fall and our ACG Cocktail Soiree which will take place next May. Please keep in touch!

For those of you who will be returning in the fall, we hope you enjoy the summer and remind you to check your email periodically for important updates and for your welcome letter in July. This letter will include vital information regarding beginning of the year festivities, what to expect for Open Classroom days, and when the class lists will be posted. Summer Session starts on Monday, June 5th, and the 2023/2024 school year begins on Thursday, August 10th. We look forward to seeing you in August!
