During Vacation/the Full PD Day, we will be rotating through stations in groups by age. Inside will be the option for games and activities to play, along with our Art projects. We will be outside enjoying the playground weather permitting, or we will use the Gym if needed playing our favorite gym games. Please see daily themes below for lists of activities.
If your child has an Epi Pen or an Inhaler that they bring to Extended Day, it is the family's responsibility to transfer the medication from their Extended Day site, or home, to the CommEd Building. Your child must have their medication in order to attend, and cannot stay in the program without their medication.
Please send your child with a lunch from home. Morning and afternoon snack will be provided.

Get ready for a ROOOOAR-ing good time! On Dinosaur Day, children will create sand art, design dino keychains, and build foam dinosaurs. We’ll stay active with games like “T-Rex Tag” and a giant Dinosaur Stomp. It’s a prehistoric adventure packed with fun!
Friday 2/24/26 Free Art!
Today is all about creativity and self-expression! Our artists will have access to jewels, Model Magic, liquid watercolors, and more to design their own masterpieces. This is a day to imagine, explore, and create freely. If the weather cooperates, we may even take our art outdoors for some open-air inspiration!
