Words from your Director...
This is always an exciting time of year at POP. The weather is cooling and we are loving being able to play outside. We are entering a season filled with festivities and fun with Trunk-or-Treat and Tile Painting right around the corner!
I am personally so excited to celebrate the preschool this Saturday evening as we recognize 50 years of service to our amazing community! A planning committee has worked tirelessly to put this event together. I hope to see you there!
As always, we thank you for sharing your beautiful children with us. It is truly a blessing to be able to spend our days with them.
Warmly,
Nicole Hilden

Prince of Peace Preschool is 50 years old! We are having a celebratory party on Saturday, September 30th, at 6:00PM.

We hope to see everyone there!

Tile Painting
|
The POP fall fundraiser of tile painting is underway! These tiles are a wonderful memory to share on the POP wall, use as a gift, or enjoy in your home. Payment and order forms were due
September 29th. If you have questions, please contact Lauren Morstad at
morstadlm@gmail.com
For painting to run smoothly, each purchaser will need to sign up for a painting slot. Slots are 30 minutes each and limited to one slot per child. This format is to let YOU choose the time that best fits you or your child's schedule. In addition to the regular morning and school hour availability, evening slots have been added.
Use the link below to reserve a painting slot:

Tile Painting needs many volunteers to help run the event. In order to have a successful painting experience, volunteers are needed to assist during the painting time slots as well as provide supplies. If you are able to do so, any help is more than appreciated!

| Safety Reminders |
As the school year continues to progress and parents become more and more comfortable with our campus and community, some safety issues may begin to arise. We would like to take this opportunity to remind all parents of the following:
- Please do not leave your children unattended in your vehicle.
- When you pick up your child, be sure to take their attendance card to their teachers and hand it to them before taking your child.
- When you drop your child off in their classroom, be sure to make verbal contact with the teachers in the room. This simple step can help eliminate attendance roster mistakes and ensure that all children are accounted for at all times.
- Please keep your children home when they are exhibiting signs of illness. Help us keep the kids healthy!
Thank you for helping us keep your children safe! Providing a safe learning environment is our number one priority.
|
| Illness Reminders |
We appreciate how diligent our families are in helping us keep POP as illness free as possible. Thank you for keeping sick children home and for reporting illnesses to us.
As a reminder, children must be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medicine before they may return to school.
Please know that we take the health of your children very seriously.
