Hello My Dear Preschool Parents!

Hello FAB Preschool Parents!

        What a beautiful day it was today!  If we can only get the temperatures to cooperate, right?!

 I will not be at school for the next few days.  My brother Mark, who has been struggling with colon cancer, is now at the end of his life.  I will be spending the next days at his side, along with the rest of my sisters, helping him with this last journey of his life.  I humbly ask for your support and prayers once again:) for my family and for my brother.  Mrs. Bloom and I have set plans into place to ensure that fun and learning continues in our preschool.  Thank you for your continued love and support.  You are all very precious to me.


     SPRING FUNDRAISER:

As you know, we are working on our Thirty-One Spring Fundraiser.  This raffle ticket fundraiser ends on APRIL 25th.  This is the day that ALL monies and tickets MUST be in.    All proceeds go to helping with the purchase of furniture and supplies for our new classroom for the morning Pre-K Polar Bears. Thanks so much in advance for your continued support for our school.



 MORNING  DROP OFF:

      I know that morning drop off can be taxing and a trial however I need your help.  It has come to my attention that a few preschool vehicles are driving down the center of Pearl St. to get ahead of the crowd. PLEASE do not do this.  In the end, it gains nothing and can cause serious injury to both preschool and the remaining elementary children who are also trying to get to school.  I ask for everyone to practice patience and Chrisitan love.  Thanks:)


CONCLUSION:

       May your week be a joyful and happy one...even in the face of our daily trials. Remember..."When God closes a door, He opens a window at the same time."

Happy, Happy Spring to You ALL!!!

Hello Lovely Preschool Parents!!

     Can it be true?  Has spring finally come?  I think it has!!! YEA!!!!!!!  I love seeing the new life that springs forth from nature every springtime.  God is so AWESOME!

    Thank you all so much for being patient and kind to me as I "get back in the saddle" of a normal routine after the passing of my mother.  I appreciate your love and support as I find my bearings again:)

The Caterpillars are Here!!!

     Once again, we welcome the Painted Lady caterpillars into our classroom. We are studying about the process of the butterfly's life cycle.  Starting week 3, these little guest aren't so little anymore! Eating, eating, eating...they are getting very plump! In a week or so they will build their chrysalis and we will move them into our butterfly habitat.  After they hatch, our class will keep them for about a week and then set them free.

Please take a look around in our hallway (as well as your child's folder) and you find evidence of your very smart children learning lots of things about spring! 

Community Helper of the month of April:

   K-9 police officers and their policeman handlers!  On Wednesday April 17th, Officer Tim Hansel of the Newark Police Dept. along with Bear, his K-9 partner, will visit our classroom to talk about their role as our community helpers. The children are so excited to meet Officer Bear, oh yes...and Officer Hansel as well :)

Spring Fundraiser- Thirty-One Raffle tickets

     Our Spring fundraiser is now underway! Each family got a packet with a pink explanation sheet, a small Thirty-One catalog, and some lavender colored raffle tickets.  We kindly ask you to sell at least 5 tickets, at $5 each, for the chance to win a $225.00 shopping spree of Thirty-One products! How cool is this?

Tuituon Information:
