Weeekly Director's Post

Good morning,
It is hard to believe we are already at the end of April.  This school year has just flown by at lightning speed.  The next three weeks will be very busy and full of fun activities for the children and families of SCDC.  Next week we begin our month of “celebrations” – we will celebrate Texas, Cinco de Mayo, and Mother’s & Father’s Day.  We also gear up for the summer season by celebrating God’s gift of ocean life which goes along with our chapel lesson this month of Jonah.  The bible verse is “Come follow me” Matthew 4:19.  The children will finish up the alphabet with Y & Z as well as reviewing the entire alphabet. The color of the month is blue and the shape is crescent. 
Next week is Teacher Appreciation week.  Please make sure to read information sent to you by the room parents for the daily schedule of activities in regards to this.  The staff appreciates all the love and kindness that you show them this school year.  We all love your children very much and it is such an honor to be part of their early childhood education.  Thank you for that privilege!!
Please mark your calendar for these upcoming events next week and beyond:
·        Monday – Thursday – Teacher Appreciation Week
·        Monday – Spring Program & Open House 6:30pm – Please have your child in their classroom by  6:15pm.  (See flyer attached)
·        Field Day – Wednesday, May 11th 9:30 – Noon – Rainbow, Orange & Green classes – we need parent volunteers this day to help with the stations to be able to make this run smoothly.  If you can volunteer to help please email Suzanne at suncreekids@gmail.com.

SCDC Spring Program DVDs may be purchased for $5 each (cash or check made to SCDC) – order forms were sent home with your child in their folder and the form is attached to this email. As a reminder SCDC offers this option for our families as our programs are so well attended and we want to make sure parents are able to see their children perform. Please keep in mind I ask that you not come to the front middle isle of the sanctuary as that is where the camera for filming is. There were some issues at Christmas with parents stepping in front of the camera to catch a shot of their own child. I ask that you please not do that as parents pay for the DVD to see their child and it has to be edited due to bodies that are not part of the program and then children are not shown. I appreciate your understanding and consideration in this matter. It is a great keepsake for your family and a great gift for extended family members.
***Calling All Bakers…***
We need donations of cookies for our SCDC Spring Program and Open House on Monday, May 2nd at 6:30 p.m. If you would like to help, please bring your cookies to the Round Room either at drop off or pick up on May 2nd. Thanks so much for your support of SCDC!
A couple of reminders:
·        May tuition is due next week
·        Pick up is at 2:00pm – thank you for your help with this!!
·        Please keep your child with you at all times before and after school while you are in the building.  Please do not allow your children to play in the round room without proper supervision for safety reasons.
Have a great day!
Blessings~
