JK/SK Update at Oxbow

I just noticed this on the Oxbow website and thought I should pass it on:

Information for Parents of New JK/SK Students
 

The Oxbow school year starts on Tuesday, September 4, 2012. 
All Senior Kindergarten students will come on the first day and JK students will begin according to the schedules provided. Please note that there is a slight adjustment to the information in the packages given out at the Orientation. 

Once JK students have been to class, they will be coming every day. Note that in the 2012-2013 school year, our JK/SK students will be on a full-day/every-day program. Oxbow asks that parents allow their child to ride the bus to school on the first day.


Happy parenting,

Banana Peanut Butter Nutella Popsicles

Want to make something to beat the heat?  Try my latest treat:

Banana Peanut Butter Nutella Ice Pops

3 Bananas

1/2 cup of Nutella

1/3 cup of Peanut Butter

Zip in a blender and freeze

So decadent and so delicious!  I love this combination of chocolate, peanut butter and bananas.  You can't go wrong.

These were so delish!  These photos were taken pre-freeze so that's why there are no sticks in them yet.

Enjoy and happy parenting,

Jean
