Reminder

Our main carpool pickup is at the end of our Preschool day: from 11:45 a.m. until noon. We depend upon parents, grandparents, and babysitters arriving on time so our teachers and office staff can then get to the next place they need to be. We understand that the construction near the Preschool can be a bother, and we also know that sometimes things just happen; however, we will begin charging a late fee of $1 for every minute past 12:00.  Due to the number of tardy pick-ups lately, we feel this is necessary.





We want to thank Amy Richards and the Shining Stars for throwing together a wonderful, healthy and tasty Teacher Appreciation Luncheon on Wednesday. Thank you, Amy, you're amazing, and the Shining Stars rock!

Today the Lower School Choir performed a few Broadway show tunes for us and they were fantastic!  We enjoyed seeing so many of our former Preschoolers, "all grown up!"

 

 

 

Last week, the Preschoolers rode or carried their horses across the finish line at our annual Grandparents' Day Tea.  This happens to be our favorite event at the Preschool.  The children carefully cut out their horses, stitched their silks, and painted the sticks that carry the horses.  Selecting the perfect name for each thoroughbred is also an important part of the project.  This year several classes tapped into the talents of their parents, and they worked together at home on the finer details of a Preschool Derby horse.  On the day of the races the children stand with their friends for a quick dash to the finish line.  We want to thank all of our Parents for bringing in food and drinks for the Grandparents!

 

It is hard to believe that we are nearing our last day of Preschool in Harrods Creek.  This year is winding down and we have two big "lasts" left before camp begins.  Our last Big Sing on this campus will be May 23 at 9:10 a.m., and we will have an End of Year Celebration on May 28, from 10:30 - 11:45 a.m.  The PA is planning on face painting, a commemorative "hands" painting for our new space in Goshen, and a Popsicles on the Playground party.  We hope to see everyone here to help us celebrate another wonderful Preschool year!

 

Happy Mother's Day to all of our Moms!

Upcoming Spring Parent Association Events

Summer is nearly upon us and the Parent Association is still busy planning a couple great events for our final weeks of school --
and we need YOUR help!


Our End of Year Celebration is on Wednesday, May 28th, 10:15 - 11:45 a.m. 
Have a passion for face painting or applying temporary tattoos? Do you love watching your child and his/her friends giggle with delight? Then we need you! Parent volunteers are needed to help lead a celebration on the final day of school. If you are interested in helping, please contact Andi or Anne.

Preschool Yard Sale: Friday, June 6th & Saturday, June 7th. 
That's right, the Preschool is having a yard sale before the big move out to the Goshen Campus. There will be lots for sale: furniture, toys, books, puzzles, and more!  We need help organizing before the big event and we also need volunteers to help on the sale days Friday (8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.) & Saturday (9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.). Please contact Andi or Anne if you are available to help.

GOT DIRT? 
Then make sure to bring your cars, trucks, and

Conestoga wagons to the Wendy's at 4955 Old Brownsboro Road this Saturday for the annual Student Council sponsored car-wash! The 8th Grade Class of 2014 needs to raise money for their class gift (to be announced at the end of the year), and this is one of their main fundraisers. We hope the weather will "behave" for us as we will be working hard from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Tell a friend and come on by!

   

Please be sure to sign in whenever you visit the Preschool, or when dropping off or picking up your child during non-carpool times.

If you need to reach us here at the Preschool, you can call our main line at 694-9370. You can also call 228-0165 and press #8 to reach Renee directly.
