Good afternoon,
I hope everyone has had a great week! The children have been so excited this week for Halloween and the excitement was definitely in the air with the parties and the weekend approaching. I love this time of the year and get such a kick out of all the cute costumes the children wear. Thank you to all of our parents for planning such fun parties and activities for our children for Halloween. The kids have soooo much fun!
Just a couple reminders about next week’s events:
Monday & Tuesday the Allen Fire Department will be here to show the children the fire truck and ambulance and cover some basic fire safety. The children always love this event! They will be here at 10 am both days.
In the month of November the children will be celebrating home and family. During this month you will see activities in your child’s class dealing with fall and Thanksgiving, using good manners and celebrating those special people that care for us. The bible verse this month is “Give thanks to the Lord for he is good.” Psalm 106:1.
During chapel we will be talking about all the things that God gives us to be thankful for. In addition to that we will be incorporating a few Fruits of the Spirit into our chapel time all month. (love, joy, peace and kindness)
The color of the month is brown, shape is the triangle and we will be studying the letters H and I and reviewing the letters that we have studies so far. We have a lot going on so please makes sure you take the time to read all things that come home in your child’s folder daily as well as checking emails sent to you by the teachers.
November tuition is due next week. It is not considered late until after the 15th of the month. The tuition drop box is located on the wall at the front desk (under the clock). Thanks!
Bike-A-Thon Update: Wow!! We have already raised around $4,000 in donations from the event J I thank all of you and your families and friends for generously supporting the preschool. It is such a fun event for the kids and it is all about them! It just warms my heart to see such an outpouring of love from those in our community when it comes to our precious children. Please keep sending those donations in ASAP. I will continue to collect donations as long as they continue to come in. Ideally I would like them all to be in by Monday, Nov. 1st but after that is fine too! Look for the grand total in next week’s update. I will also list the items that we used with the donations we raised. It all goes back to the classrooms and the kids!
Make sure to check out the blog weekly at www.suncreekkids.blogspot.com and you can find us on Facebook. Have a safe and fun Halloween weekend – GO RANGERS!!!!!
Blessings~
