Spring is just around the corner,    yippee!,  The Parent Association is busy planning great events for our final months of school and we need YOUR help!

Easter Egg Hunt: Wednesday, April 16 & Thursday, April 17 (Ladybug class)


How can you help?  

- Send in eggs!  Every family is asked to send in two dozen plastic eggs filled with one item (no chocolate or nut candy).  The eggs are used for the preschool's hunt and approximately1,000 are donated to the California Area Family Development Center.  More information will be sent home in backpacks in two weeks.

-  Sort eggs. On April 11 at 9:00 a.m. parents will gather to sort and divide the sent in eggs.  If you are available to help, please contact Andi Hibbard or Anne Farra.

- Hide eggs.  On April 16 from 9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. parents will hide eggs on the playground, weather permitting, for the children's hunt.  If you are available to help, please contact Andi or Anne.

Derby Tea & Grandparents' Day: Wednesday, April 30 & Thursday, May 1 (Ladybugs class)

How can you help?  Please contact your classroom parent to find out how you can help prepare for a festive Derby tea in honor of grandparents.

End of Year Celebration: May 28, 10:15 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.

How can you help?  We will need volunteers to help us lead a celebration of the end of the school year for the children.  If you are available to help, please contact Andi or Anne.

Shakespeare Anyone?
OPENING TONIGHT: The St. Francis Drama Project proudly presents Shakespeare'sThe Comedy of Errors. 

 

"I to the world am like a drop of water
That in the ocean seeks another drop."  - Antipholus

 

Shakespeare's preposterous farce, the rollicking, high-speed 

Comedy of Errors, with its two sets of identical twins, each twin named the same as his brother, poignantly underscores our deep longing to find our true identity - a real partner to help define ourselves and share life's journeys.

 

The National Youth Arts Award-winning St. Francis Drama Project proudly presents this early comedy of Shakespeare at the Goshen Campus March 21st, 25th, and 26th at 6:30, and March 23rd at 2:00 p.m.

 

The National Youth Arts Award-winning St. Francis Drama Project proudly presents this early comedy of Shakespeare at the Goshen Campus tonight, March 25th and 26th at 6:30, and March 23rd at 2:00 p.m.  26 Middle School students are cast, and the play includes all the best of Shakespeare: delightful couplets, foibled characters, mistaken identities, slapstick combat, chase scenes, and of course, a wonderful closing reunion. 

 

"We came into the world like brother and brother,

And now let's go hand in hand, not one before the other."
