Soccer and Lacrosse Spring Sessions

Scoops and Sweet Feet will be resuming their after-school sessions at WIPP in February.  All students (even our 2s!) are invited to participate in the spring sessions--but they must be COMPLETELY POTTY-TRAINED!

Happy New Year!

Everyone was excited to be back at school--even if the temperatures didn't make us feel much like January and all of our SNOW projects were wishful thinking!

We sent home all of the forms and information this week for registration for the 2019-20 school year in backpacks. There was also an email sent out today with copies of all of the forms attached. Below you'll find a copy of everything also--we want to make sure no one misses the info! :)

Some classes fill up quickly, so make sure you get your forms filled out and back to us. There are special instructions for our rising 4-year-olds who are trying for the preschool lottery so we don't miss anyone. If you need another form, just let us know!

Also, if your family has been impacted by the government shutdown and you need a delay in sending in tuition payments, please let me know. We'll be happy to work with you.

PS Keep scrolling because below the boring forms there are pictures from the last couple of days in our classrooms!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful time at our Christmas program--and we enjoyed all of those good cookies!  Our leftover home-made cookies were packaged up to be shared with the homeless in Forsyth Park during Sunday's People Helping People lunch.

We wish all of our families a very Merry Christmas!

WIPP Christmas Week

Hi Families!

Just a few reminders with all of our Christmas stuff going on this week!

Our 5-day class Christmas parties will be tomorrow 12/18. Check with your child's teacher if you need more information.

Our last practice for the Christmas program was today. As you can see, we're ready to sing our songs for you!



On Wednesday, we'll open the Sanctuary doors at 8:30. The preschool building doors will be closed until 8:50 so that we can get all of our 2s into their classrooms and settled before the "big kids" come in. On Wednesday, our 2s are the only classes who will do carpool. We ask that our 2s start carpool in the back parking lot at 8:35 so we can be finished by 8:45.

If you arrive with your 3s or 4s before 8:50, please head to the Sanctuary with your child and grab a seat. I'll head over to the Sanctuary at about 8:50 to walk over all of the children who are waiting there. If you arrive after 8:50, just park and walk your child to his/her classroom. The program will start promptly at 9:15.

For our whole school performances, classes will be in the same basic positions they were for the Thanksgiving program--but shifted a little further to the right because of the giant Christmas tree in the Sanctuary! The 4s will be on the left side of the altar, then Mrs. Knudsen's class in center, with Miss Didi's and Mrs. Heebner's classes on the right. When the 2s come in, Miss Jaycie's class will be on left, Mrs. Anderson's class in the middle, and Miss Emily's class on the right. The program lasts about 40-45 minutes.

Our Christmas cookies have started to arrive! After our Christmas program, everyone is invited to stop back at Fellowship Hall for some cookies and milk (or punch!) We will have store-bought cookies available, but we ask that each family send in a dozen home-made cookies along with the recipe to help fancy things up! You can send these in any time this week--or drop them off at Fellowship Hall before the program on Wednesday. We'll share the recipes on the blog after the holidays--and in a printed booklet next Christmas.

Christmas Cookies!


Don't forget to send in a dozen of your favorite cookies (along with one copy of the recipe) to share at our Christmas Cookie Reception. Right after our Christmas program next Wednesday everyone is invited to Fellowship Hall for cookies and punch (or milk!)
Here's a recipe to get you inspired!
