Dear Parents and Families,
These are the highlights of two special events during the month of October. We are looking forward to lots of learning and fun!
Pre-K Pumpkin Patch
Pre-K will celebrate the arrival of Fall with a “Pumpkin Patch Festival” on Friday, October 26th. This event is similar to “Safari Day” but with a fall theme. If you would like to assist in any way, please complete and return the attached form. Those parents who actively supervise activities and/or send in supplies will be able to earn volunteer hours. Please remember, if you are unable to assist you are still invited to attend!
The children may wear festive Halloween clothing and accessories along with closed toed shoes to school for this special day. Although costumes look wonderful, we ask the children DO NOT wear them for “Pumpkin Patch.” Many of our little guys become uncomfortable in costumes and have difficulty using the restroom.
Mrs. Brown & Mrs. Flynn 9:00 – 10:00
Mrs. Brennan & Mrs. Forget 10:15 – 11:15
Clean-up 11:15 – 11:30
Thank you for your continued support!

A Very Special Study
We are planning a special study of Saint Francis of Assisi in coordination with our study of the letter “A” next week. The children will learn about his life, love of nature and commitment to the Lord.
Our closing activity will be a “Pet/Animal Blessing” at the end of the week. We are hoping Mrs. Schildwachter will be able to help us with this very special prayer. That being said, we would like each child to bring in a stuffed animal to blessed by Thursday, October 18th. To symbolize Saint Francis’ devotion to others we would also like each family to send in a small donation of dog food or bones to share with animals in need.
With our thanks,
Mrs. Brennan, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Flynn & Mrs. Forget
