Wow, is anyone else amazed that it is May? We have one more month of preschool and then it is Summer Fun! The school year goes until June 23, 2009. We will have our all school picnic on June 24, 2009 at Lindberg Park. There will be more information to follow next month.
We have our big Art Celebration night on Thursday, May 14, 2009 from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. It will be a combination of singing, photos and an art show. Please feel free to bring your camera! This is the third year of this show and your children have been working hard the past couple of months in preparation for our celebration. We have had nearly 100% participation the past two years. It is an event you won’t want to miss! Please bring your children to the church sanctuary and have them sit with you until we are ready to sing. After they sing, you will take them down to the preschool to tour the classrooms. Make sure you save time to tour all of the classrooms. This gives you an opportunity to see what the other classrooms are like and who the teachers are that make Northminster Preschool so special. We are so excited about this event, so please join us!
The preschool will be closed on Monday, May 25, 2009 in observance of Memorial Day. Also, please keep an eye open for the Summer Fun letter and room assignments. Those letters will be going home on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 and Thursday, May 28, 2009.
The parent group and I are really excited to tell you about a new fundraiser we are doing this year in preparation for Northminster Preschools celebration of 40 years in the community! The preschool opened its doors in 1970 and has been making an impression in the surrounding communities ever since. We are going to be selling 6×6 tiles for $25.00. The children will then have the opportunity to paint them in the classrooms the week of May 25th. Then those tiles will be put up on the walls facing the playground as a reminder of your child’s time here at Northminster. If you have siblings that have graduated from Northminster and they would like to do one, we will have some available for them as well. This is a fundraiser sponsored by the Preschool Parent Group. Mr. Moyers from Mrs. Alcala’s room has generously offered his time to put the tiles on the wall for us. Thank you!
We will be holding a food drive this month for CCSA. They have had a record number of people in the Clairemont Community come by for food these past few months. They are running low on spaghetti, spaghetti sauce and canned fruit. If you have the ability to contribute any of these items to our food drive, we will have boxes outside the classrooms the entire month of May. Thank you in advance for your continued support of this important cause.
I would like to remind parents who participate in lunch bunch to please help us make pick-up time easier on everyone by signing your child out and leaving the playground area. It is extremely difficult to do our count and transfer to the next group of teachers if we have children on the playground when we have all of the other children off of the playground area. Thank you for your support and understanding. Safety is our first priority!
Vacation Bible School registration is still open but filling up quickly. If you would like to participate in this fun event (run by our own Korin McCoy), the registration forms are available — HERE.
On behalf of the entire staff at Northminster Preschool, we would like to thank you for all of the small and large things you have done this past year to make our school special. Not only have you shared your culinary skills with the children, you have donated supplies, time and love whenever we have needed it. You are an amazing group of parents and I wanted to let you know that what you do for us does not go unnoticed!
