Thank you for the prayers and support!

Hello Preschool Families,

     Over the past few months, my mother Nancy Vehorn has been part of many of your prayers and thoughts.  I want to extend my deepest appreciation for all those prayers and the show of support and love you have extend to me.  My mother Nancy, passed peacefully into eternal life with our Lord and Savior on Saturday evening March 23rd.
    Many of you have asked me to post  as to where services will be done.  The viewing of this beautiful and graced child of God will be Tuesday March 26th at Hogenkamp Funeral Home in Minster Ohio.  The funeral will be at Holy Redeemer Church in New Bremen Ohio.
     Thank you all again for your love and support.  You are a blessing of God for me and my family. 
My hope is that your family will celebrate the Holy Week and Easter with joy !  I know it does my heart good to know that Mom will be celebrating the joy of the resurrected Christ in Heaven.  I love you all!

Happy Dr. Seuss Week!

Happy Dr. Seuss Week Fantastic Preschool Parents!

   As we wind down our 5 senses theme, I invite you all to take a look at the BRILLIANT work your wonderful children created!  WOW!  On Friday, we had a special college student in the classroom observing for one of her early childhood classes.  She commented how very smart and hard working your children are!  Kudos to you Moms and Dads- your kids are GREAT!!!

  

   Also on Friday, we kicked off "Dr. Seuss Week" by having the Cat in the Hat visit our Penguin class.  Cat in the Hat read 1 fish 2 Fish Red Fish Blue Fish to the class. It was such a treat!  

On that note, please remember our special days for "Dr. Seuss Week".  We have some fun activities planned for the classes.  Please do not feel like you must go out and buy special items for this week.  Things you can conjure up at home will do just fine.  For example, for Manic Monday Hat day...the hat does not have to be anything related to Dr.Seuss books; it can just be a hat you have lying around the house.

Mid-Year Survey:

    I will be sending home a short mid-year survey home in your child's folder.  Please fill it out and send it back.  This helps me get a better handle on things that can be improved in our preschool program.

Catholic Foundation Grant Awarded to our Preschool!

    Our preschool was awarded $1500.00 toward play yard improvements from the Catholic Foundation.  Thanks to this wonderful foundation that is dedicated in helping those Catholic programs dedicated to spreading the faith. 

Thanks Parents!

Thank you parents for helping us during pick up time.  By staying in your cars until you are up to our preschool door helps us keep a better handle on the security of the students as well as keeps the line moving a bit smoother!  You are A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

A tummy bug is on the move!!

  A yucky tummy bug seems to be traveling through our whole school...preschool and elementary alike!  Please keep your eye on your precious one when they comment on a "belly ache".  This particular bug seems to lasting between 2-5 days with vomiting and or diarrhea, as well as extreme fatigue.  Fever does not always accompany this virus.  Please remember to  make sure your child washes their hands well before coming in our classroom.  Hand sanitizer alone is NOT sufficient.  Thank you for respecting our policy on this. 

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:

    May your week be a peace-filled one.  Thank you for allowing us to share Christ with your children!
