I am excited to start my 4th year teaching Music to your children! This month we will sing some Fall and Halloween songs, learn a fingerplay, pretend to go to the Pumpkin Patch and play our favorite movement game with the hula hoops! Be sure to ask your children to teach you their favorites!

 During Children's Chapel our classes join Rev. Mary Kay, Rev. Will or Miss Maureen to pray, hear a Bible lesson and sing some fun songs. This year, families are invited to join us for Children's Chapel for our two special Family celebrations during the months of December and May. For the remaining school months, the classes will join Rev. Mary Kay, Rev. Will and/or Miss Maureen in smaller groups for their lessons. |

Greetings! 
We are delighted with how well our preschoolers are adjusting to school this year. We are enjoying being in the classrooms and watching the children make friends and learn to work together cooperatively! We are also enjoying getting to know all of you. We have an open door policy in our office. Please feel free to stop in and say hello. In addition, we encourage you to get involved with our POPS organization. The first meeting is Tuesday, October 9 at 7:30 in the preschool. This is a great way to make some friends of your own. We hope to see you there!
Blessings,
Julie and Ann-Marie
