It is hard to believe December is upon us already! It just seems like yesterday you were walking your children into our school, some for the first time, and taking that first step of letting them go for awhile. We have had some tears, much laughter, and a lot of fun since September and we have made many new friends!
What an amazing carnival! The weather was perfect and everyone seemed to have a great time. I would like to thank the carnival committee, the parent group presidents, and their loyal assistants, the parent volunteers, the bakers, the parent donors, the community donors, and anyone else that took some time out of their day(s) at some point along the way to make this carnival successful. All of your time, money and donations helped to raise over $9,000.00! That is truly AMAZING! This event was successful because of all of you.
I would like to thank all of you for donating food for our annual CCSA food drive. We ask a lot of our families during this time of year, so please remember that any requests for donations are just that…requests. There is never an obligation or expectation that you must participate. We are so blessed here with the families, children and staff. It really takes the effort of many, in large and small ways, to make this preschool unique and successful. I applaud all of you for your continuous hard work and contributions to that effort.
We will have a very special guest on December 15, 2010 and December 16, 2010 in Congdon Hall. This special guest is made possible by the Parent Group enrichment program.
You are invited to Northminster’s Children’s Ministry Christmas program. The program will be on Sunday, December 12, 2010 starting at 4:00 p.m. in the Hall. The children will be putting on a Christmas skit and singing. You are all invited to attend and sing with the children!
Christmas break starts December 20, 2010 through January 2, 2011. School will start again on Monday, January 3, 2011 at 8:00 a.m.
On behalf of the Northminster Preschool staff, I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy, healthy 2011! If you are travelling this month, please make it a safe trip. We will see all of you in 2011!
