Michelle Nelson Schmidt (author and illustrator of Jonathan James and the Whatif Monster, Bob is a Unicorn, Cats Cats, Dogs Dogs, and Dog and Mouse) will be coming to Bright Beginnings for a very special “Pajama Night” on Monday, November 2nd at 6:30 PM. Michelle has a fantastic message for all ages about overcoming doubts and fears and following your dreams as well as not worrying what others think about you and being your very special self. In addition she will read 2 of her books aloud and share GIANT artwork from her books. It will be a magical evening! All of her books will be available for purchase and she will sign after her 45 minute presentation. 50% of all purchases will benefit the preschool in free Usborne and Kane Miller books! This event is open to the public so invite your friends, neighbors and grandparents. They’ll be very glad you did! This is a FREE event sponsored by Bright Beginnings Christian Preschool for their Families and the community!
The cold weather has come upon us. Please label your child’s winter wear, so if it becomes misplaced we can be sure to get it back to them.
