Pirate Day

Arg….….

Pirate Day has been changed to Friday, Sept. 18th.  Due to several of our Mates who are jumping ship on the 11th!

 

BUDDY





Last week, we started the tradition of sending home “Buddy” with a classmate. Buddy is a stuffed pig that goes home with a different child each night. The idea behind Buddy is that the child reads Buddy a story at night, or Buddy listens with your child as you read him or her a story. It is just another way of encouraging reading at home. Please be sure your child returns Buddy the following day to school, so that another friend might have the opportunity of taking Buddy home.

 

Treasure Chest Friday

We had our first Treasure Chest Day on Friday!  The kids had a blast counting their pennies and purchasing prizes!  Please remember that our Treasure Chest   benefits from your donations!  Don’t forget when your cleaning out your closets, your trash maybe treasure to our kindergarteners.
