Aspiring to make a difference in the lives of children and their families in greater Chicago, franchise owner Jenny Wierzchon hosted a grand opening event for local families to celebrate the new Primrose School of Long Grove Saturday, Aug. 27.
The grand opening celebration featured school tours and other family-friendly activities, including a magic show and visits from Primrose Friend Percy, a balloon sculptor and a DJ. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held with the Lake Zurich Area Chamber of Commerce to officially celebrate the opening of the school.
Wierzchon is thrilled to bring a new Primrose school to the Long Grove community.
"As a lifelong educator, I've always recognized and appreciated the power of high-quality education and care," Wierzchon said.
