Community Spotlight

Thank you to everyone who helped participate during our Jar Wars event, we raised over forty dollars for Toys for Tots. The children also helped put together a throw blanket for those at Summer’s Landing assisted living which Summer’s Landing has already placed out for residential enjoyment. A very hearty thank you for helping brighten this season for others!

Save the Date

Please do not forget to sign up for a Family Conference before Christmas Break. Christmas Break begins December 21 and goes until January 2. If you are in need of childcare during this time, please let Ms. Wanda or Ms. Shirley know as soon as possible.

Donations

I know we have many things in our classroom to use and play with, but we could always use a few extra items here and there. If anyone could assist and donate any of the following materials it would be greatly appreciated; empty cereal boxes, shoe boxes, mittens, and gloves.

Reminders

When dropping your child off in the morning, please make sure that you drop your child off with instructors. Leaving your child at the hallway door is unsafe as the classroom is in the back portion of the building and we cannot see you drop your child off at the hallway door. For safety measures, please drop your child off with instructors so that all children are accounted for.

Jar Wars

At the beginning of the upcoming month, we will begin something called “Jar Wars.” Pre-K A and B classrooms will be competing to gather the most pennies together from November 1st until November 14th. The classroom with the most pennies will have a surprise party. The pennies gathered by the classrooms will be used to purchase a gift for the classrooms to donate to Toys for Tots. Remember, Jar Wars is pennies only.

Save the Date

We will be having a Thanksgiving dinner in the classroom, keep your eyes open for further notice on when we will be hosting this. November 19-20 is a student holiday and November 21-23 is Thanksgiving holidays, there will not be class on any of those days. If you need childcare for any of these days, go ahead and let Ms. Wanda and Ms. Shirley know immediately.

Donations

I know we have many things in our classroom to use and play with, but we could always use a few extra items here and there. If anyone could assist and donate any of the following materials it would be greatly appreciated; dry beans, potato sacks, and empty Pringles cans .
