Renbrook School Celebrates "Week of the Young Child"

Renbrook School in West Hartford proudly celebrated "The Week of the Young Child"; a celebration sponsored by the NAEYC (National Association for the education of young children). This event is primarily celebrated by Preschool through Kindergarten; however, this year the rest of the lower school grades one through five joined in for some of the celebrations. Each day had a special theme and had planned activities to celebrate the themes such as Musical Monday, Healthy Habits Tuesday and Work Together Wednesday. The highlight of the week was the children preparing hand-made sandwiches for the local food charity "Loaves & Fishes" and packing them in hand-decorated brown paper bags made with love.
