Good News for Preschool
Christmas star
We are so happy to welcome three new students to our preschool.
  • Beau Jones and Laszlo Varga to the Blossom Room
  • Bodhi Patchis to the Sunshine room

Our preschool classes are now full. Thank you to our wonderful  preschool teachers for their hard work - they are all doing an incredible job!  

 

*Special note: because our classes are currently full, we can no longer accommodate any schedule changes. Thanks for your understanding. 

 

Please register now for fall 2014 if you haven't already! We will hold your child's place for next fall until March 14. After that, we will be accepting placement for new students.  

 

Father-Daughter Dance This Saturday
 
The Father-Daughter dance is this Saturday night. If you haven't turned in
your RSVP but plan to attend, please respond ASAP. To order a wrist corsage,
contact Stacy Kvinsland (there are only a few more left).

The dance starts at 7 p.m., so please arrive on time. This year's refreshments include a yummy dessert buffet. Dinner is not provided so you may want to meet other dads and daughters for dinner. Don't forget to use Scrip!

We have an amazing professional photographer taking photos of all the girls with their dads and escorts. She will be available starting at 6:45 p.m. Individual and friend photos will also be available, so please take advantage of this special opportunity.

Please note: Portraits are being professionally printed and will be sent home a week or so after the dance. Additional portraits and enlargements will be available for purchase. Look for more details in future EwesNews.

Please remember that this is a special night for TK to sixth-grade girls and their dads and escorts. Mothers, as tempting as it may be to come and "spy" on your daughters, please resist.

Volunteers are desperately needed to set up for the dance on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. You will earn fundraising service hours. Contact Heidi Smith if you can help.  

Once again, all the girls attending the dance will receive a special
keepsake charm.  A volunteer will be available during the dance to attach this year's charm to your existing charm bracelet.  If you would like to take advantage of this service, please remember to wear your bracelet.

Half Off Tuition for New Families in TK-6
Check book
Save money on your tuition! If you bring in a new family to our school, they get half off their tuition and you get half off of yours (for one year). This offer is good through this Friday, February 28.

Preschool families continue to receive a month's tuition credit for each family they refer who enrolls.
