Kindergarten Connection

Your child's week with Mrs. DeLapa

Last Week

Our Bucks 4 Brown celebration was really fun. The weather was perfect and we certainly had plenty to celebrate. Our Brown School family raised over $32,000.00!!!! Thank you for your generosity and hard work to make this happen. We are so blessed t have the incredible support from our Brown School families. This money is used to enhance our students' learning and create forever memories of their time here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! 💙💛💙

Now that the weather is more like fall, please be sure your child has adequate outdoor clothing each day. We go outside

3 times a day and we want all the children to be comfortable. Thank you.

Never hesitate to email me (ldelapa@sjschools.org) with any questions you may have regarding any of our “kindergarten stuff.”

We will snack in the morning each day (our lunch time is 12:25). It is not necessary for you to send a snack with your child, as the leader provides it each day.  Thank you for sending a leak-proof water bottle with your child each day.

able to enjoy the day. If you have any questions about your choice, please ask.
