President: Jordan Clegg-RuhlHello and welcome to First Presbyterian Preschool! My name is Jordan Clegg-Ruhl and this is my first year as President of the preschool board. My daughter, Marlowe, will be starting her second year at FPP this fall in Miss Megan’s 4s morning class, and Miss Haley’s Enrichment program. My youngest daughter, Colette, is counting down the days until she turns 3 and can start enjoying her days at FPP like her big sister. Our family enjoys traveling, spending time outdoors, and hanging with friends. When I’m not spending time with my kids, I enjoy reading, gardening, and skiing.
