September Preschool/Prek News!

Hello!

I first want to say thank you so much to all those who have donated items off our Amazon Wishlist!! I have recieved many items that didn't come with a name, so I apologize if you never recieved a thank you card. I truly appreciate your kindess and generosity!

September 21st and 22nd: All 3 classes will be making Applesauce! We ask that everyone brings in an apple (any kind) so they all can core/peel an apple to go in the pot. Feel free to have your student bring in their apple anytime before or on Sept. 21st for AM and PM Prek and Sept. 22nd for 3 yr old Preschool.

4 yr old Pre-k Blessing Jars: Some of you in the afternoon class may have already noticed a reward coupon in your child's folder that was sent home last week. This is because our class filled up their blessing jar! How this works: For both AM and PM Prek classes, they work as a team to earn tokens for their class blessing jar by performing good deeds, "green choices", being a kind/helpful friend, etc. Once their jar is filled up, they get to choose from a variety of reward coupons. Some examples include: bringing a fluffy friend to school, pajama day, fun show and tell, etc. These coupons can be used at any time. I do ask that you send the coupon back once they want to use them, that way I don't have to keep printing and laminating more! Thank you!
