The 2017-2018 school year is here! Julia Leslie is our new Preschool
Director/Teacher and Mary Dempsey is on staff as our Bookkeeper and Classroom
Aide. A BIG thank you to Warren Jacobs for his help and support. Also, a special
thank you to Pastor Megan, Mary Dempsey, preschool parents and the preschool board for their
dedicated work through the summer.
The classroom is being decorated and two tricycles have been ordered. There are 20 children in the
morning session and 7 children in the afternoon session. Volunteers are needed to join the preschool
board. We are also need qualified subs to teach or assist in the classroom. A special thanks to Dean
Snowden, Tim Anderson and Violet Bane for their help in painting the classroom! Please contact
Pastor Megan or any board member if interested in volunteering. Let the school year begin!
The preschool board is happy to welcome Julia Leslie as the new Director. Julia has over
