Mary Queen of Angels Regional Catholic School in Cheektowaga will once again offer free morning and afternoon Universal Pre-K for the 2013-14 school year beginning in September. The program is made possible through the Cheektowaga Central School District.

Universal Pre-K classes are held for 2.5 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Children eligible for the program must turn four years of age on or before Dec. 1, 2013. Free busing is included, and participants may also qualify for a free or reduced lunch program.

The Rose Garden Early Childhood Center, located in a beautifully renovated “green” building at 257 Lafayette Ave. in Buffalo, still has a limited number of openings for its creative toddler programs. The Center offers half-day and full-day programs for children from 18 months to 5 years of age in a homelike environment where domestic arts and physical development are the core of a play-based curriculum.

The eighth grade class at Mary Queen of Angels Regional Catholic School, located at 170 Rosewood Terrace in Cheektowaga, will hold a Hot Dog Cookout from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at the Valu Home Center store located at Clinton Street and S. Rossler Avenue in Cheektowaga. The event will help raise funds for the annual eighth grade class trip.
