Thanksgiving Program: Friday 9:15

Tomorrow is our Thanksgiving program! We can't wait to see you!

3s & 4s: Please bring your child to the classroom between 8:45-9:00 before heading over to the Sanctuary to get a seat. We ask that you park in the front lot or the overflow lot.
2s: Please use the back for regular carpool between 8:40 and 8:55 then park in the front and come into the Sanctuary.

This program is our short one! It should last about 30 minutes.

This isn't a normal day for us. There will be NO Early Birds or Lunch Bunch. Children will be dismissed immediately following the program. Everyone is invited to join us in Fellowship Hall after the program for light refreshments.

We have off all next week for Thanksgiving Break!

I'll remind everyone before the program starts where the best seats are to see your child's class, but here's where everyone will be:
Miss Heather's class starts on the far left.
Miss Deborah's class will be right next to them at center left.
Mrs. Knudsen's class will be in the middle/left.
Miss Did's class will be middle/right.
Mrs. Heebner's class will on the right.

The 2s come in and join us for the last three songs of the program with Miss Jaycie's class on the left in front of the 4s, Mrs. Anderson's class in the middle, and Miss Emily's class on the right in front of the 3s.

Some of you have asked about what kind of clothes your child should wear. Below are pictures from a past program showing our Pilgrims (Mrs. Knudsen class and the 4s) and Native Americans (the 2s, Mrs. Heebner, and Miss Didi's classes.) Some of our Native American costumes (especially for the little kids) are shorter than the one's in the picture--more hip length so they don't fall!

Thanks for helping us celebrate!

Hi Families!

Thank you for all of the candy donations! We delivered a laundry basket full of candy to Godley Station Dental on Thursday and another one to Dogwood Pediatric Dentistry on Friday. If you still have candy you'd like to donate to Operation Gratitude, you can drop it off at Dogwood Pediatric Dentistry at 4849 Paulsen Street on Monday or Tuesday.

Sweet Feet Soccer participants: Keep an eye on weather! We'll post a notice on our FB page if tomorrow's class is cancelled.

We'll be joining the Wilmington Island Farmer's Market on Saturday 11/10 for Storytime. Join us at 10:00 for some stories and songs!

There's no school on Monday, November 12, in honor of Veterans' Day. If you're looking for some family-oriented Veterans' Day activities, you can join the Savannah Children's Choir at the Mighty 8th Museum on Sunday, November 11, at 3:00 for a free concert. The Savannah Veterans' Day Parade will be downtown on Monday 11/12 from 9:00-12:00.

We'll be collecting canned goods for Second Harvest during the week of November 13th. Items that are especially needed include peanut butter, jelly, soups, canned meat, canned fruit, and rice.

Our Thanksgiving program will be at 9:15 on Friday, November 16, in the Sanctuary. We'll be sending home more information on this later in the week.

Don't forget to check your child's class blog to see what their class has been up to!

Happy November!
Kathleen

Happy Halloween!

We had tons of fun during our Halloween celebrations.  Thank you to everyone who helped!

The Pumpkin Patch!

We've had lots of our classes walk across the street to visit the pumpkin patch! 
We all had fun!

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!
