We would ask you to send a snack for the class each month on the first school day of the month.  There are currently 18 people in the class.  Example:  If you send a package of cookies make sure that there will be two cookies for each child.  Please send the same snack for everyone.

For the year each child needs to bring the following:  1 package of napkins (200 count), 1 box of 5-ounce Dixie cups (200 count), and 1 box of tissues (200 count).  Please do not send larger-sized cups.

If your child is sick or will not be attending, please call before class begins at 8:30.  If your child misses one day in a week, it’s still to be paid for.  If your child misses 2 days in a week, he will get credit for the send day the next week.

Please put your child’s name on their coat, sweater, or any other items brought from home.  Please double knot your child’s shoes.

We will come out and get the children for class.  Please do not come inside the gate.  We will also bring the children back out to the gate after class.

Valentine's Day Party Postponed & Book Orders Due

We will be having a Valentine’s Day Party and Card Exchange. We will be making Valentine Delivery Trucks for our valentine cards. Please do not put names on the valentine envelopes. Each child sends one to everyone in the class, but they just sign their name on the back of the card and leave the envelope blank. There are 18 people in the class. These may be brought from the 11th (maybe) and 16th.

Reminder: Will the following children’s mothers please send a special snack for our Valentine Party: Owen Shaff, Xavier Sullivan, Alexys Thralls, and Beth Wallbrown.

Also, book orders will be due Tuesday, February 16th too.

Thanks!
