Preschool Autumn at NCS
Picnic tablesBy Rachel Partin,
Preschool Director


Fall is in the air and our preschoolers are busy discovering and exploring their world and the changes that are taking place. Walking through the classrooms, I have observed the children making fall leaves with homemade play dough, water coloring pumpkins with long green vines, stuffing scarecrows and many more activities. The classrooms are decorated with fall colored projects that the children had fun making. It is such a blessing to work with children, teaching them about the many aspects of God's world. What a great opportunity we have to work with them.

Our campus has been blessed with many talented parents. I would like to thank Mr. Moya, Tony and Andrew's father, for making the child-sized picnic tables. They are located at the back of the building next to the Elementary playground. The children will enjoy eating outside for a special treat.

I would like to thank you for participating in the PTO fundraiser. We appreciate your willingness to support our school. The Preschool is participating in the all school food drive. The age group with the most canned food will be rewarded with a popsicle party. Let's show our Cougar spirit by helping others during this holiday season.
