A Sad Good Bye

Our sweet friend Kendall will not be returning after the Christmas break. She and her family are moving to China. We wish the Tucker family the best of luck in their new journey. They will be missed dearly!

THANK YOU

I want to say a personal "thank you" to everyone for the birthday celebration. Sylvia and I could not have asked for a more supportive group of parents. I am already dreading the end of the year when I will have to tell these little ones good-bye. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and send many blessings to each of you.

Pam and Sylvia

Important Reminders

Cell Phones – Please remember that cell phone use is not allowed in the car pool line for the safety of our children and staff. We have noticed many parents talking on their phones and this is an extremely important safety rule as this is a school zone.

Late Drop Off/Early Pickup – We understand that sometimes you are running late in the morning or need to pick your child up early in the afternoon. Please remember that if you are dropping off after 9:15am you will need to leave your child with Susan at the front desk or the Preschool Office so that we can take your child to their classroom. If you are picking your child up before 2:15pm, you will need to come to the front desk or office so we can get your child from their classroom. Also, if you are dropping of a lunch, clothes, or any other item that your child might need, please leave these items with the front desk or the preschool office and we will make sure that your child receives them.

A Great Week

It has been a short but very busy week. We have continued to talk about Fall. The past two weeks we have focused a lot on capital and lower case letters along with identifying color words. Everyone enjoyed making nachos today....... ask them about what the chips were made from. Please remember to check your childs plant. We have a few that have not made it and need to be replaced. I will post pictures on Friday.

Hats Off To.........

Dylan Riggins for being Star of the Week
Reagan for taking Hopper home
Victoria for joining the 100 club.

FYI

If your child brought a plant at the beginning of school that was in a crayon box, it is time to get a new one. The plants came with no soil and haven't done so well. The plants that seem to be doing the best are the "IVY" plants.
