November’s Tuition is Due!
Just a friendly reminder that the next month’s tuition is due on the 25th of the prior month.  Thank you.

Riddle Me This!
If you know the answer, please write it down and give it to your teacher or Ms. Cherry to be entered into a drawing for a sweet prize!
What runs, but never walks. Often murmurs, never talks. Has a bed, but never sleeps. Has a mouth, but never eats.
