Family Bible time- Next one is Wednesday October 7!!

We hope you truly enjoyed our first Family Bibletime in the gathering Place with Pastor Matt.(Thank you Florida lightning!)This is a wonderful time for the children to get to know Pastor Matt and other church staff members while learning about bible stories. We encourage you to ask your child about what they learned at Bibletime (dates are listed on our classroom calendar).

MECE Night Out

Thank you to the Parent Association for organizing our first MECE Night Out at Chick-fil-A!!! We think because of the weather a lot of families used the drive thru lane and we thank you for supporting our Parent Association at the same time.

Barnes and Noble Book Fair

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our Book Fair! The teachers had a marvelous time reading to the children as well as getting some fabulous new books and toys for their classrooms. Thank you to Morgan Dubois, Katie Zitzmann, Brittany Sylvestri and all the parents that volunteered, for organizing this wonderful event for our families!!

Storytelling with Miss Rita

Miss Rita is a long time educator who has deep passion for telling children stories thru dramatic play. She enacted the story she wrote "I Can't Right Now" to each class. Copies of the book are available for sale, see the order form in your child's folder.

Have you tried Lunch Bunch yet? Once the kids try it they usually want to do it all the time. There is no need to sign up in advance-just pack a lunch box and send it in. It is just $15 each time and your child will stay until 2 pm.

There are limited openings in all of our Enrichment Programs. Contact us if you are interested in one.

Be sure to label everything that comes into school, with your child's first and last name. This include lunch boxes, water bottles, jackets or sweaters, etc.
