Family Chapel
Our Friday morning chapels are a special time for children and teachers to come together to discuss ways they can be a positive force in their community through kindness, acts of service, and helping others. We also use this time to celebrate the wonderful learning that is taking place at Plymouth.
Over the next few months, families will have the opportunity to join us for this special weekly tradition at 11:00 am in the Reception Room. We have created a schedule so that each 2/3s -5s classroom can host a chapel, share their learning and have their families join them. We look forward to welcoming you soon. Grownups from the Pineapple and Orange Room families are welcome to join one of the following family chapels to see the older classes present.
2/27 - Big Green Room Families
3/6 - Purple Room Families
3/13 - Red Room Families
3/27 - Willow Room Families
4/10 - Cranberry Room Families
4/17 - Blue Room Families
5/8 - Little Green Room Families
