Yankee Candle Fundraiser

Now – Oct 16th

My Small Wonders is trying a fundraiser to help our teachers buy some optional equipment for their classrooms that we don’t have in our budget. Packets will be sent home with details and order forms.
The fundraiser is completely optional and just for fun but your help is very much appreciated! Each classroom will receive 40% of their sales to buy extra supplies, toys, or equipment. In addition, the classroom with the highest sales (averaged by student count) will receive a special prize and recognition for their hard work! Good luck!

Pre-K Goes to the Zoo!


The pre-k classes at My Small Wonders, the Apollos and Monarchs, took their first field trip ever! The children had tons of fun thanks to the efforts of MSW staff and the parent chaperones. 
We thought it was going to rain but it didn’t and the cool weather had an added benefit of bringing all the animals out of hiding! They got to see everything from the lions, wolves, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, and even the dinosaurs!
This field trip was a great success and we’d like to thank the parent chaperones again for donating their time to help with this activity!
