Fantastic Parents As Teachers Family Fun Group Connection Event!




Due to high chances of rain this evening, we changed the location for our Family Fun Event this evening to the Early Childhood Center at 9417 South Broadway. We will have the gym area open for children to play. If it is not raining, children can play on the playground. You can grab your free Kona Ice Treats on your way out to head home as the treats won't be allowed inside the building. Hope to see all of you in attendance!

One week until the big event! Join the us at the Taste of Lemay/Affton on Friday October 6th in the new Hancock Elementary Gymnasium!


We have rescheduled our Family Fun Event from last night to next Wednesday, October 4th, from 6pm to 7pm. We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible!
