Weekly Update March 7-11, 2016

This week is a pretty quiet week here at Willow Park!

Wednesday: Tonight is our March Family Event. This evening from 6:30-7:30 pm, we are inviting all Willow Park families to meet us at the Leduc Public Library. There will be reading, games, prizes and friends - a guaranteed fun night!

Amanda Ulrickson from the City of Leduc's FCSS will be visiting with us for the evening. Your children have probably met her a few times by now and heard a lot about her at assemblies. Feel free to introduce yourself! The FCSS is a great place to start if you would like to find some help for your child(ren) or your family. They can offer support and provide information on services, programs, initiatives, and resources available within the community.

We look forward to seeing everyone!
