No Soccer Today!

Sweet Feet Soccer has been cancelled for today, March 12, because of the weather and field conditions!

Storytime at the WIFM!

Join us tomorrow (March 10) for Storytime at the Wilmington Island Farmers' Market . We'll be reading some books and singing some songs from about 10:00 'til 10:30.

Parent Email 3/5: Getting Ready For St. Patrick's Day!

We're just a little more than a week away from the WIPP St. Patrick's Day Parade and we've been doing lots to get ready! We're still looking for a couple of trailers to use with our 3s. If you or anyone you know has a flatbed trailer with low sides that we can borrow for the morning, please let me know. (We can find a vehicle with a hitch to pull if you don't want to be a driver!)

*Our parade day, Wednesday, March 14th, is not a regular school day. WE WILL NOT HAVE EARLY BIRDS, CARPOOL, OR LUNCH BUNCH. Parents will bring students to school no later than 9:00 so that everyone is outside and ready to roll by 9:10. Your child's teacher will let you know whether you should drop your child in the front parking lot or in the classroom. We’ll follow the same route as in the past: leaving the front parking lot; going down to May Howard's carpool driveway; proceeding down to the traffic circle for the students at May Howard; then returning via the same route. Children will be dismissed to their parents at about 9:45-10:00 immediately following the parade.

*Our 2s join the parade in wagons/strollers pushed/pulled by a parent. Our 3s ride in decorated trailers (If you or anyone you know has a trailer/truck we can borrow, please let me know!) Our 4s march! Everyone is invited to wear green. If you ordered a WIPP St. Patrick's Day shirt, we'll send them home as soon as they arrive.

If you have a golf cart or some other kind of interesting vehicle that you'd like to decorate and add to the parade fun, let me know! You can ride/drive along with your child's class--or lead off with the Grand Marshal and his Adjutants. I'm putting the parade line-up together this week to send to the Parade Committee!


PS For those of you who are looking at applying for the PK program at any of the public schools, tomorrow is the last day you can put an application in online for the April 3rd lottery. You can find more information by contacting your neighborhood school or by going to http://internet.savannah.chatham.k12.ga.us/district/AcademicAffairs/Pre-Kindergarten/Pages/LotteryProcess.aspx .

100th Day of School

Our 4s celebrated the 100th day of school with 100 Day Heroes, hundreds of stacking cups, hundreds of snacks, and lots more special fun and games!

Donuts With Dads

We had a great time with our special guests last week.  Thank you to all of our dads and special friends who joined us!

End of January Email

Just in case you didn't see the email version sent out yesterday...

We're almost at the end of the first month of 2018!  I've included the calendar for the rest of the school below--because time is flying!  If you haven't checked out the photos from Pajama Day on the blog entry just below--they're adorable!

• We've had some of the sicknesses creep back in to our classes.  While we haven't been especially hard hit yet, we have had assorted cases of the stomach bug, flu, a flu-like respiratory illness, and strep.  We'll keep you posted on anything that really affects any one class--or the whole building.
• Many of you know the Foran/Stuckey families from WIPP or the community.  In addition to the children attending WIPP, Buttercup (also known as Angie Foran!) was an assistant in our 2s and 4s classes and has continued to sub at WIPP.  Lily Stuckey (a WIPP alumni who is currently in 6th grade) was recently diagnosed with leukemia.  While they have a strong family/friend base to support them, prayers are most appreciated and welcome.
• If you haven't returned your registration forms for next year, please get them in ASAP.  We have some classes that are already just about full!
• We're looking at updating the bathrooms in the preschool this summer.  We need the fixtures replaced and some repainting done.  If you know someone who'd like to take a look at them and give us a bid, please let me know (or ask them to contact me.)
• The church is collecting new and gently-used blankets to donate to those in need in Savannah.  If you have any that you'd like to share, please send them into school by Wednesday, January 31.
• Sweet Feet Soccer will start their spring session at WIPP on Monday, February 5th. Classes are held on Bill Lester Field right after school.  We walk the participants out to meet the soccer coaches at dismissal and you come and pick them up at 12:45.  For more information go to www.sweetfeetsoccer.org .

Thank you for all you do!

Pajama Day!

We had a wonderful time at Pajama Day!  We wore our pjs to school, watched some special movies, and had some special snacks--like popcorn!  Some of us even had hot chocolate with marshmallows!
