SIP, SIP, HOORAY! It’s Carnival Week! 🎉

Between the dancing, parades, music, and sunshine, children can become dehydrated quickly. Be sure to:
✅ Encourage water breaks often
✅ Limit sugary drinks in the heat
✅ Take cool-down breaks
✅ Carry water wherever you go

Healthy kids = happy Carnival memories! 💙

Water today, energy all day! 🌴☀️

Our team at PCCVI had an amazing time out in the community, sharing the joy of reading with our little ones for Reading Across St. Croix! From engaging stories to bright smiles and curious minds, it was a beautiful reminder of how powerful literacy is in shaping confident, healthy children.

We are proud to support reading all year round. Encouraging a love for books early helps build language skills, imagination, and lifelong learning habits.

💡 Parent Tip: Just 15–20 minutes of reading a day can make a big difference in your child’s development.

Thank you to our schools, families, and community partners for welcoming us. We look forward to continuing to learn, read, and grow together!
