Director’s Notes
Happy New Year! We hope you all had a blessed Christmas Season! Many children were served in Beaufort County, thanks to your generous donations to Bluffton Self-Help. Each of the teachers and staff would like to thank you again for your generous gifts and treats. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful parents to support us.
This year’s Lowcountry Day Block Party was a great success, and we’d like to congratulate The Duston Family from 357 and The Lang Family from 285 for winning the raffle for a fee week of childcare.
