CUMC DAY SCHOOL

We kicked off our summer with our older kid’s summer camp; we have about fifteen kids attending throughout the summer camp (ages 6-10) and twelve of them are Catalina Alumni. Our Summer Camp will be covering themes such as Vikings, Star Wars, Pirates, France and Olympics along with once-a-week swimming at the Himmel Park Pool. Plus, in July a visit from the Reid Park Zoo.
In May, we honored our moms for Mother’s Day with several Mom events – Our 3’s did a Spa Day with Mom where kids got to paint their moms’ nails. The 2’s did Painting with Mom and Pre-K did Muffins with Mom. In June we honored our Dad with a Donuts with Dads event.
In our garden we are growing some beautiful sunflowers for the summer.
