Bright Start will hold a Birth to 3 screening on Thursday, March 30 and Friday, March 31. If you live in the Meridian school district and have a child that is age 0-3 they can participate in this free developmental screening. This service will be held at the same time as our preschool screening at the Pleasant View Community Building (the old school) in Blue Mound. Parents will remain with their child as trained screeners evaluate developmental progress. The process will take about 30 minutes. You may set up an appointment starting March 13th by calling 692-2535, ext. 244. You can call this number anytime between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Little Hawks will be hosting a Youth Sports Night for parents with children age 0-PreK. RSVP required so we can plan for enough food. Hear from organizations, such as The Meridian Ball Association, Decatur Park District, YMCA, Co-County Youth Volleyball, A&M Area Soccer League, and PSF Moweaqua (martial arts)!

Today for Little Hawks we read a book that describes emotions in such a kid-friendly way called “In My Heart A Book of Feelings” by Jo Witek. Our older kiddos got really into showing the different feelings with their expressions. We also danced to Jack Hartman’s “If You’re Happy And You Know It” song. Our craft today worked on our fine motor skills while finger painting around a heart! And lastly, we saved lots of time to get our wiggles out in the gym!
