Weekly Director's Update

The children all did such a great job the last two days with the school pictures. They all looked so cute and there were no tears!! All of the children did get their picture taken even if the parents didn’t place an order. Both individual and class pictures were taken. The pictures should be back in 3-4 weeks. I will send the pictures home in your child’s backpack when they come in. The company, Photo Design, does give SCDC back 10% of the total sales they make from our schools photo orders. Thank you for placing an order and we hope you will enjoy the pictures!

The children had a busy and fun week! Now that we are officially into fall please make sure and send a light jacket with your child as we will go outside for recess unless it is raining. Please also pack an extra set of clothes in your child’s backpack daily – thank you!

Bike-A-Thon:
The information sheets with the pledge envelope went home yesterday and today for the Bike-A-Thon. The Bike-A-Thon is on Wednesday, Oct. 14th (rain date, Oct.15th) during your child’s recess time. You may go ahead and start collecting pledges and we will have you turn them in by Oct. 21st. If your child does not attend school on Wednesdays we encourage you to bring them at their scheduled recess time to ride their bikes with their classmates. Sign up sheets for parent volunteers for each classroom will soon be posted at your child’s classroom door. We encourage you all to come and cheer your child on and take pictures and just enjoy the morning. We had such a great time last year!!

Illnesses:
I have seen quite a bit of illness this week and it has been flu. If your child has a fever of 99 or higher I will be sending them home. Please do your part in keeping your child home if they show signs of being sick. We have several children and staff members in the pre school with compromised immune systems and cannot afford to get the flu. Because we are a shared space with Suncreek UMC we do have other members of the congregation with flu and swine flu so I will be very vigilant with our sickness policy to keep our children and staff healthy. I appreciate your patience and assistance with this matter J

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, see you next week!

Blessings~
