🌮 Taco ’bout Staff: Mrs. Maira! 🌮

Let’s give a big cheer for our last Taco ’bout Staff of the year—Mrs. Maira from the Road Runner 2’s! She brings joy, warmth, and a whole lot of fun to her classroom. Even though she’s new to Crossroads this year, she has already created a space where kids feel welcome, excited, and ready to learn.

She’s a mom of four, loves being outdoors, and has a soft spot for collecting pens and markers—because you can never have too many when you’re teaching 2-year-olds.

Her favorites:
🦋 Animal: Butterfly
🔴 Color: Red
🥤 Drink: Coke

Maira, thank you for all the love and energy you’ve poured into the 2’s. We’re so thankful for you and all you have done this year at Crossroads School!

Field Day was a huge success, filled with the kind of joy and discovery that makes early childhood so special.
Our 2‑year‑olds dove into The Very Hungry Caterpillar–themed sensory play, driving through their own “car wash,” exploring textures, and bringing the story to life through movement and imagination.

The 3’s and 4’s enjoyed classic Field Day favorites — egg balancing, hoop relays, turtle races, and team challenges that encouraged coordination, cooperation, and confidence. We wrapped up with carnival games that had everyone cheering and celebrating their accomplishments.

It was a day full of movement, laughter, and proud little faces. Thank you for sharing your amazing children with me.

🌼 What a great day for an Egg Hunt!
Every class had the chance to hunt for eggs in the barn, and the smiles were everywhere.

✨ Our 4’s enjoyed a special glow‑in‑the‑dark egg hunt, followed by an egg chase that filled the barn with laughter and energy. It was such a memorable experience for them.

🐣 From start to finish, it was a fun‑filled day for everyone.

Wishing you and your families a very Happy Easter — may it be full of bright colors, happy hearts, and maybe even a few leftover chocolates.

Sundays coming!
