Director's Weekly Post

Good afternoon,
I hope you have all had a wonderful week!  I can’t believe we only have 5 weeks of this school year left – that is just crazy!  The last day of school is on Thursday, May 19th.  In the coming weeks we are filled with many fun and exciting activities so please make sure to note all the upcoming dates for your calendar.

Next week Easter parties will take place on Wednesday for M/W Rainbow, Orange and Green and on Thursday for all other classes.  Please make sure you have checked out any sign up sheets for items to sign up for and have checked the emails from room parents and party coordinators.  Huge thanks to the parents that generously take the time to organize these fun events for the children.  Please check with your child’s teacher if you are uncertain of the time the party will take place.  Parents are always welcome to attend the parties!!

Update:
I am happy to announce that SCDC families donated a total of $732.00 to the Kathleen Baskin-Ball Memorial Garden from the lemonade stand last week.  We have such a generous and loving community!!!  Thank you so much!!
April tuition is due at this time.  All supply fees for next school are now past due – if you still owe that payment please do as soon as possible – thank you!
A parent survey will be sent home on May 3rd.  This year we are trying a different format and it will be an online survey instead of a paper one.  If anyone would rather have the paper survey instead please let me know and you will be provided one. The feedback given from the surveys every year helps us to know what areas we do well in and the areas that need improvement.  This is what makes SCDC such a special place!!

Next week we will continue to build up to Easter in chapel and the children will continue studying that in their classrooms as well.  This is such a special time of the year and I love seeing how the children grasp the true meaning of Easter beyond the eggs and bunnies J  Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings~
