Email to Parents 10/24

Just wanted to update you on a few things going on around the preschool:
  • We seemed to have weathered the stomach bug! There aren't any major outbreaks of anything going around the building right now as far I know. Thank you for being proactive in keeping your child home when he/she is sick!
  • Next week we'll have our classroom Halloween parties! Miss Emily's TTh 2s will have their party on Tuesday, October 30, and everyone else will have their party on Wednesday, October 31. Our kids can wear their costumes on party day (You can send a change of clothes if you'd like!) Our parties usually start between 11:00 and 11:15. (Check with your child's teacher if you're not sure of the time.) Everyone is invited to attend--we love company! We ask that you park in a marked space in the front parking lot because we do still have carpool on party days! We try to finish up by 11:35, so we can get all of our guests out before carpool starts.
  • On Wednesday, October 31, our 3s and 4s classes take a quick walk next door to trick-or-treat with some of the residents at Summer Breeze. We're back in plenty of time for our parties though!
  • We'll be participating in Operation Gratitude again this. This program includes a handful of candy in every care package they send to our troops. You can learn more about them at www.operationgratitude.com. One of the main sources of this candy is donated unwanted/extra Halloween candy. WIPP will collect candy on Thursday, November 1 and Friday, November 2. We'll send out a reminder next week!
Below you'll see the calendar for the rest of 2018 at WIPP. This year has flown by!
