What a wonderful time everyone had at the Get Acquainted Potluck! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. I want to thank everyone who came and shared a dish. It is always exciting to see the dad’s at the preschool!
Our second Kindergarten Options Information Night is Wednesday, October 7, 2009 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. This event is open to the public so you are more than welcome to bring a friend to this informative event. We also need 5 or 6 parents to help us by baking 2 dozen cookies and bringing them to the office on Wednesday, October 7th in the morning. Thank you for your help!
Our open house will be on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is a wonderful opportunity to see what your children have been doing in preschool since September. We hope to see you all there!
The classrooms are transforming as we speak, getting ready for that special day at the end of October. We have a Halloween Parade on October 29, and October 30 around 9:20 a.m. Please, no masks if you choose to have your child dress up. Mrs. Keri’s friends do not participate in the parade. Ask your child’s teacher about their procedures for this event. You are invited to stay and take pictures.
Our enrichment programs start this month. We have a puppet show on October 20th and 21st at 10:30 a.m. On October 26th and 27th at 10:30 a.m. we have a Fire Safety program with two Fire Fighters from our preschool community. One is a former dad and the other is a current dad at our preschool.
A safety reminder for all parents, please, please make sure the gate is closed behind you when you enter and exit the preschool. Make sure you hear that click of the lock when you close the gate. Thank you!
I would also like to remind parents that you need to please keep your children home if they are sick. The only way to keep your children healthy here is if you help us by keeping your children home when they are sick. If they have a persistent cough and runny nose and are not feeling well, they need to stay home or see a doctor. If they have a fever, vomit or have had diarrhea, they must be symptom free for 24 hours without medication before they are allowed back at preschool. Please help us keep the children and staff at Northminster Preschool healthy!
I have seen a lot of donations coming in for the Carnival already. Thank you, thank you, thank you! The classroom bins for the silent auction baskets will be in front of the classrooms with the theme attached. Your donations will help create a beautiful classroom basket to be auctioned off at the Carnival on November 14, 2009.
As I walk around the school each day, I am reminded of all the efforts past and present that the parents have done to help make Northminster Preschool one of the best in this area. It is because of parents like you that we are able to look at our school both inside and out and be proud of both the physical plant and the teachers and staff who make it special. I am extremely grateful to be the Director of Northminster Preschool. We have an amazing group of parents, children and staff here. We are so blessed! Thank you for all you do as parents to make it a pleasure to do my job.
As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please stop by the office. If not, you can still stop by and say hello!
Shelli Harder, Director
