Happy Thursday!
I hope you all had a great week! The children have been very busy and had a great time. The classes have continued to study community helpers and fall. The older classrooms had fun pretending they were police officers this week and wrote tickets and placed on the staff’s cars. They loved that!! In chapel this week they learned about how God is like a life vest for each of us. I invite parents to attend family chapel next week – 9:15 am on the day your child’s class has chapel.
Just a few reminders:
· All bike-a-thon donations are now due! The SCDC community has been so generous on donations from our fundraiser! I will give you a total dollar amount raised by next week. Thanks so much!!
· Family Chapel all next week – 9:15 am check with your child’s teacher for the day if you are not sure
· Halloween party Wednesday for M/W Rainbow & Green classrooms & Thursday for all other classes. Please check with your classroom teachers for the party times as they may differ. We encourage the children to have costumes for the parties.
· Scholastic book orders are due by Oct. 30th
I wish you all a wonderful weekend!!

Good afternoon parents!!
SCDC’s 2nd annual bike-a-thon went so well today!! The kids had a great time riding their bikes and seeing all their smiles was so precious J It was great to see so many parents come to the event today to cheer their child on. This is such a great family event and we are so blessed with the wonderful families in our SCDC community! A special thank you to Ashley Southard for organizing all the volunteers and helping to make this event run so smoothly! We appreciate you!! A big thank you to all the parents that volunteered to help today in all the areas. We couldn’t have done it without you!! Look for a sheet in your child’s folder that has the number of laps they did today. I am aware some of you have already turned in your pledge envelopes so I just wanted to make sure you know we send that sheet home with each child as an informational tool for you. Please turn in any pledges or donations into the office by next Thursday, Oct. 22nd. Make all checks to SCDC. Thank you so much for all you do to make SCDC such a great place!!
*SCDC is a non profit school so with your help through fundraising we are able to purchase items for the school that we may not be able to purchase on our operational budget.
Your child will also be coming home today with a medal on a ribbon for them to wear in honor of their participation today!
Please pick up your bike at pick up time if you didn’t take it this morning – Thanks!
Few reminders:

SCDC 2nd Annual Bike-A-Thon
We are so excited for our 2nd annual Bike-A-Thon on Wednesday, October 14th. What a fun day for the children and a great way to support SCDC. This is our only major fundraiser for the year. All funds raised will be used to support our SCDC classrooms. For our Bike-A-Thon, the SCDC parking lot will be transformed into a bike track. The children will have assigned times when they will ride their bikes around the track. We encourage parents to come and enjoy the day with their children. The rain-date for this event is Thursday, October 15th. Let's hope for a dry and sunny day!
Weekly Director's Update
Happy Thursday parents!!
What a fun week the children have had!! We had a special guest on Wednesday and today, Pastor Tom – Sr. Pastor of Suncreek UMC, visited with the children about his job as a community helper. He brought in special props that he uses with his job such as his robe and stole, baptismal bowl, communion cup and the bible. The children really enjoyed his special time with them. Some of our classes have done special activities with apples too! It has smelled very yummy around here with the fresh applesauce simmering!!
Next week will be a busy week for SCDC! Remember NO SCHOOL MONDAY!!!
Wednesday – Bike-a-thon – please check the flyer we sent home yesterday & today about the event!! This is our main fundraiser for the school year. I will send another reminder out on Tuesday. Remember your child needs to bring their bike or whatever they are riding that day and a helmet. Your child will be riding during their scheduled recess time and that is on the flyer you should have found in the folder. Here is the schedule for the classes to ride on Wednesday:
9:30 Yellow
10:00 Rainbow & Blue
10:30 Purple
11:00 Orange & Red
11:30 Green & Sky Blue
A few other reminders:
*Please make sure on cooler days to send your child with a light jacket for outdoor recess. Also, check your change of clothes are appropriate for the season J Also, closed toe shoes are preferred with the mulch on the playgrounds and when it’s cooler the children’s toes get cold. Thank you with your help with this J
*Please sign your child in and out daily at drop off and pick up. If you have someone other than yourself doing this please pass that along. Also, the number listed needs to be the number to reach someone at for that day. Thanks!!
*On October 21st and 22nd, your child will be doing a cooking activity during their centers time for specials on Tues/Wed. They will be making Pumpkin Dip and eating it with gingersnaps and graham crackers. Here is the recipe that I encourage you to try with your child at home:
3 oz. of cream cheese (softened)
½ c powdered sugar
8 oz. can of pumpkin
½ tsp. of cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ginger
8 oz. tub of Cool Whip
Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until well blended. Stir in the pumpkin and spices. Stir in the whipped topping and serve with gingersnaps or graham crackers.
An alternative activity has been planned for those students with allergies and paperwork that needed to be signed was sent home a couple weeks ago. Let me know if you did not receive that. This will be a fun time for our kiddos!!
*Oct. 21st – Fire Drill 9:45 and the Two Girls Who Make Crosses will have a booth set up from 9-noon. Check them out at www.twogirlswhomakecrosses.com they will also be here on Oct. 22nd from 11am – 2pm. 10% of their total sales they give back to SCDC!!
*Oct. 28th & 29th classroom Halloween parties
Illnesses:
As a reminder please keep your child home if they show signs of being sick. We have had quite a bit of illness and we need your help with this! Please do not expose the rest of the school if your child has a fever by giving them fever reducers and sending them to school. They are contagious and it exposes the other children! We have had a least four students possibly more that I am not aware of with the flu. Hopefully the long weekend will get our kiddos well! I appreciate all of your help with this matter in keeping our school as healthy as possible. Thank you so much!!
Remember M/W parents you will be bringing items for the bike-a-thon when you come on Wednesday and our T/Th classes we hope you will be here to ride with your class on Wednesday. I hope you all enjoy a long weekend with your families and I will see you back here on Tuesday :) I thank you for sharing your precious children with us, we are so blessed~
