We have lots of fun activities to look forward to in the next- and final- two months of the school year. Here is an overview of what is coming up, and make sure you look for more details in email and in the backpack as we get closer to each event.
Easter Egg Hunts! These are held by class either on campus or at one of the many playgrounds nearby. Check with your child's teacher for the specific details for your class. Miss Laura's T/Th 2s will celebrate on Thursday, March 25, and all other classes on Friday, March 26. All off campus egg hunts require an adult to attend with the student.
Conference Day- Monday, April 5, is set aside as a conference time for our parents and teachers. It is NOT a regular class day for students. Many teachers will also schedule conferences before or after school. Conferences can be done in person, by email or phone. Please confirm with your teacher a convenient mode and time, or let her know if you do not wish to have a conference.
Bike Week is April 12-16! Our charity of the month for April is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Online fundraising information will come home in the April calendar. Our 3s and 4s will have a day assigned to bring in a bike (or scooter, trike, etc) to ride as a class in our front parking lot. All fundraising donations are handled online, and your child can earn fun prizes.
Class Pictures- We will take a group picture of each class during the week of April 19. Families will be able to purchase pictures for $8 each. This will just be a whole class photo, not individual pictures. Due to absences, we may adjust the days so we can get a picture with all the students.
Mother's Day/ Father's Day- Friday, May 7, will be our celebration for Mother's Day and Father's Day! It will be a program day, so at least one parent must attend with students. Current conditions still prohibit a gathering in one spot of our whole WIPP family, so we will be breaking with tradition and celebrating by grade level. The children will be learning a few songs to sing for the parents, making some special gifts, and we will have refreshments to enjoy together picnic style in the garden. Good weather is a must, so pray for sun! More details will come home closer to the event.
Last Day of Class- The last day of regular school in the building is Monday, May 17.
Pre-K Graduation/ End of the Year Picnic Tuesday, May 17- We will have our Pre-K 4s Graduation ceremony in the church with our 4s and their families at 9:30. At 10:30, we invite all our WIPP families to join us for our end of the year picnic at school. We will be grilling hot dogs, playing on the playgrounds, and celebrating the end of a wonderful year of preschool together!
