We am moving to the area soon and wondering if you have any room for an additional student. I have a 6 year old who loves 1st grade and the outdoors, and I think would thrive at your school. Our move is unexpected but happening soon. We will need a school the 1st of November or at the latest the 1st of December.
My son, Kaleb, will be new to your classroom beginning the week of December 5, 2011. We are making a huge move from across the country (Virginia) and he is feeling very nervous about it all. Is it possible to get an email address for Mrs. Heimburger so that I may communicate with her before Kaleb begins school? I believe it would really help the transition for him. Thanks!
