Did You Know?
Sunscreen
We would appreciate it very much if you would please apply sunscreen to your children every day before you bring them to Extended Day. Outside is a choice every morning and it's important that the children are protected. We don't apply sunscreen here until base room time. We count on YOU to make sure your children are protected prior to that!
Thank you for your cooperation!!
~~
Ipads
Please, when you sign in and out, do not have your children use the ipad. The sign in and sign out is for adults only. There is important information being recorded. Children are so fast and comfortable with electronics we wouldn't want anything to inadvertently be lost. Thank you!

PEEK BACK AT WEEK 2
Lots of fun last week! Be sure to ask what kind of WACKY SNACKS we had on Thursday! It was a little messy, but sensational!!
In camps and clubs we jumped ropes like crazy, designed and built our own houses, and did some amazing art with cement, Model Magic, sand and more!
We learned about Book-a-Wocky with the Washington County Library. We will be reading books and making reports with a chance at earning super prizes!!

We all went to the Minnesota Zoo on Friday! We saw lots of WILD animals and learned some fun facts!! Great Day!!
Good Things to Know
Clothing and accessories:

Field Trip T-shirts! This week grades 3,4 on Monday, grades K-2 on Thursday!! PLEASE! ALWAYS make sure your child has their field trip t-shirt to wear on field trip days! It is for their safety and staff's peace of mind.

Suits and Towels : This week Water Day is on Wednesday!! Please make note of all water days and days we have field trips to pools or water parks. Your child will be highly disappointed if they don't have swimwear and a towel so that they can join in!

Footwear: Tennis shoes!! Tennis shoes!! Flip-flops, slides, and sandals are a great summer shoe, but are NOT great for the activities we do in Extended Day. A big part of our day is being active! Field trips, the gym, and outside all require a sturdier, safer shoe for the walking, running, and exploring that we do every day! Please send your student with tennis shoes!

Hats, Sunglasses, Extra Clothes are always a good option!!
FOOD
Breakfast: M-F
Lunch: M-TH
Snack: M-F
Menus can be found HERE!
You still need to send a home lunch every Friday!
We can accommodate for known food allergies and sensitivities with advance notice! If you let us know at registration, we are prepared for your child.
