Weekly Director's Report

What a busy week!! The weather has been beautiful and the kids are having a blast!! Just a few announcements for you this week:

No School Monday – SCDC is closed for Columbus Day

Wednesday – Scholastic book orders are due & special guest Dr. Chad Smith will be speaking (10am) to a few classes about his job (community helpers)

Thursday – Dr. Chad Smith will speak with classes about his job (10am)

Bike-a-thon is Wednesday, October 20th – the children will participate in the event during their scheduled recess time that day. A flyer with the event information went home earlier this week with the pledge envelope. Many people pay per lap and some families just do a flat donation to the school. All checks may be made to SCDC. We still are in need of volunteer help that day so please see the sign up sheet at the front desk. This is our main fundraiser for the school year and it directly benefits your child. Last year’s fundraising went to purchase many new items in the preschool such as curriculum, books, toys and many other learning tools!! We appreciate all your support!!

Allen Early Childhood PTA flyer – is attached – this is a wonderful organization in Allen that meets and has fun programming for you and your child. Please see the flyer for more information.

Tuition for October is now due

Lastly, we have seen a lot of illness the last couple of weeks. It is that time of the year we see flu, strep and all those little childhood bugs. As a reminder please keep your child home if they are sick or you feel they just are not themselves and you may suspect it. Our policy is a child needs to be fever, diarrhea and vomit free for 24 hours Lovely hugh?? You may shoot me an email so I can let the teachers know your child will be absent or you may call the preschool and leave a message. Thanks!

**Please keep the Hanks family in your prayers and a huge thanks to all of you that have helped out this sweet family. I know they appreciate it very much. There has been a care calendar set up for meals for the family and you can access that by going to

Also, an account will bet set up for the family at Capital One bank here in Allen tomorrow (Friday) for donations. It is being organized through Green Elementary PTA on behalf of the Hanks Family and as I get more information about that I will pass that onto you .The Allen community through Green Elementary, Suncreek UMC & SCDC and the many friends, family and neighbors have really stepped up to help them with the immediate needs. I will keep you posted as other needs arise. Thanks for all you do!!!

God bless you all and have a nice weekend~
