Pre-K Post

Dear Parents,

Pumpkin Patch was wonderful! We appreciate all the help we had running the centers, cleaning up afterwards and the many donations. We could not have done it without your assistance. Don’t forget to record your volunteer hours in the Front Office.

We are getting ready for Thanksgiving and our annual “Native American Day Walk.” During our preparations, we take time to discuss how thankful we are for God’s gift of love, family and home. Additionally, we help the children remember how important it is to share with those who may not be as fortunate. To support this cause the school is collecting for families in need. Pre-K’s contribution to the food drive is dry breakfast items – cereals, breakfast bars, oatmeal, grits etc.. We are hoping every family will be able to make a contribution to this important cause.

The children will also be learning about the history of Thanksgiving through stories and songs. We will being singing these songs as we walk through the school on our “Native American Walk.” Each child will decorate a shirt and headband to wear on this special day. We are asking for a donation of $1.00 to help cover the cost of shirts and fabric paint. Thank you to those parents who have already sent in a donation.

Reminder – Please remember to send in your decorated “turkey feather” as soon as possible.
