Events
Family Picnic & Bike Parade
 We held our first Bike Parade and Family Picnic on Saturday, May 22nd. The event, held on the Grafton Common, was attended by many students (current and newly enrolled), siblings, parents and grandparents as well as teachers. The day started with picnic lunches, face painting, tattoos, bubbles, arts and crafts and games. The main event, the bike parade, began later in the day and was led by the Grand Marshall Clown, Matt Boris. The children were very creative in decorating their bikes with balloons, streamers, flowers, and much more. They were proud to display their bikes for the crowd during the parade. Following the parade everyone cooled off with ice pops. Grafton Center Playschool is hoping the Bike Parade will become another annual event celebrated with their families. Please check out the addional pictures on the "Photos" page.
Pajama Day
 Pajama day was held at the school for students and teachers. Children were able to wear their PJ's for the day and enjoyed a snack of graham crackers and hot chocolate! The kids look forward to this annual event each year.
