A NOTE FROM MRS. DAVIS:
What a wonderful week we had! Not only did our teachers enjoy getting a ton of new things for their class from the NAEYC conference, but I was happy to be back enjoying our students. I especially had a great time at our Family Reading Night. For those of you, who missed it, please consider joining us next month on December 4th.
We have a lot of things coming up in November. We will be introducing our students to the Graph Of Giving as we teach them to share their hearts with someone else. In November, we usually collect food and grocery gift cards for needy families outside of our school, but this year we have 6 families we have recently lost their jobs and are falling on hard economic times. If you are able, we are collecting $5 Publix Gift Cards to help those families from our own school to have a Happy Thanksgiving. Any child who brings in a $5 Publix Gift Card will move their heart onto the Graph of Giving on the Pantry Door.
For those of you who ordered cookie dough, it will be arriving on Wednesday, November 19th. Please plan to pick it up that day and either deliver it to the individuals you sold it to or have a place in your refrigerator or freezer until you can deliver it. It is ok to refreeze or refrigerate, but we do not have space at the school to store it overnight. In all, we raised $1400 on the sale, $850 will be used on a truck full of playground mulch and the rest will be used to enhance our multicultural toys and books in the classrooms. If you are able to help in spreading the mulch, we are looking for help around noon Saturday. Rakes, wheel barrels, and shovels are welcome! If we have a lot of volunteers, it should take about an hour.
We will be holding a Family Turkey Decorating Event. Please check your child’s mailbox for an outline of a turkey. Use your creativity to decorate it any way you wish. Some ideas include using beans, rice, feathers, buttons, or anything found around your house. Please return it before Monday, November 25th so that we can hang them for all to see. Be sure to write your child’s name and class on the back.
Finally, we will be holding Thanksgiving Feasts in all our rooms. Please check your child’s class door to sign up to bring an item for the feast. VPK sign up sheets will be on the pantry doors by the kitchen. Families are invited to join us for this special day so mark your calendars. Remember, we will be closed on Thursday, November 27 and Friday, November 28th in Observance of Thanksgiving.

A NOTE FROM MRS. DAVIS:
I am writing you from Dallas where I am attending the NAEYC conference. I want to take a moment to thank my wonderful staff who has worked so hard in my absence to make sure things ran smoothly, especially Miss Jeanne who stood in for me, Miss Delly, and even cooked in the kitchen for Miss Maria. I have learned so much at the conference that I can’t wait to share with the parents and staff. I am always looking to improve my skills as an administrator since my primary training is as a teacher. I had a chance to look at some great new innovative things for the classroom and made some purchases that I know the teachers and students will really enjoy. One of the things I learned was how to put up a Staff Compliment Tree. In the weeks to come you will see it going up. I am asking parents to think of a compliment you can give to the teachers and assistants in your child’s class and turn it in to me on a post it note. Each week, I will add the compliments to the tree. It can be general or specific (I really appreciate it when I pick up my child and Miss X always hugs them as they leave the class. Or I loved the monkey activity that was done in Miss X’s class this week. My child really learned a lot.) You can also mention a quality that makes the teacher special. You will be surprised how special just a few words can make someone feel and it only takes a moment out of your day. Also feel free to submit compliments for our office and kitchen staff. If you do not have any post it notes, just cut out a 3 inch square of paper and use that. I can’t wait to get back and see everyone on Monday.

We would like to welcome back all our old families and sent a special welcome to our new ones. We had a great turn out for the Family Fun Day. If you were there, we took pictures that are on our website and you can take one copy off the pantry doors. When you stop by your child’s class, please pick up the “My Family Page” and take it home. Please return it to school as soon as possible filled with family photos. We will be making a booklet to be kept in the Quiet Area for when students need time to reflect. Sometimes having family photos is comforting to them. If you have not gotten your copy of the school calendar, please see someone at the front desk. The calendar has the food menus for the year as well as events that will take place at the school. You will see on the calendar that the Oral Health Fee will be billed on August 25th and must be paid by September 25th to avoid late fees. This fee, about $0.09 per day is to cover the cost of the disposable toothbrushes we use after lunch. Also please mark your calendars now for our Open House on September 11th. The mandatory parent meeting will take place at 7 pm followed by classroom visitations. This is the only event we have all year that is not very “Kids Friendly”. If it is possible to leave one parent at home with your child, it would be a better experience for everyone.

A NOTE FROM MRS. DAVIS
It was a real joy to see all the little bunny children as they hunted for eggs on the playground. A special thanks to all the parents who followed our egg filling guidelines by not putting candy in the eggs. It really helps to reinforce our oral health program. Although we did out best to check all of the eggs, if we missed some and candy got home with your child, we apologize. Please keep in mind that anything that goes home in the form of goodie bags either for special events or birthdays, must be approved by an administrator in the main office. Please also remember that because of our participation in the Childcare Food Program, we are not permitted to serve sweet items like cookies or cupcakes during the lunch hour. Therefore, cupcakes can only be served with the afternoon snack.
