Social Media:
I am a big social media person, so if you are on Instagram or Facebook please friend me. If you’re on Facebook, go to Preschool Sports and like the page. Why you ask, this will be the just one way of finding out about upcoming programs or class cancelations due to unforeseen weather.
As all of you are taking such great pictures and videos with your cameras/phones, if you would be willing to share them by tagging me (Craig Collins) or post them to the Preschool Sports FB page. OR if you could hash tag "#Preschoolsports” I would appreciate it. Thanks for sharing!
