PRESCHOOL NEWS
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of our entire preschool staff to welcome all our new and returning families to Mt. Pisgah Preschool! We are truly blessed to share this year in the life of your child---to borrow a phrase from the illustrious Dr. Seuss: “Oh, the places we’ll go!” This year promises to be a wonderful adventure! Please know that if you should have any questions, the preschool office door is always open, and your child’s teachers will be more than happy to provide you with any information that you may need. We are looking forward to a year of discovery, friendships, and “teachable moments”. J
OUR PRESCHOOL “LUNCH BUNCH” PROGRAM will begin the week of Sept. 20th. Lunch Bunch meets from 12:30-3:30pm, Monday-Thursday. Lunch Bunch Registration forms will be sent home in your child’s tote bag. The “pre-registered” cost per day is just $13.00, and the “drop-in” rate (on a space available basis) is $18.00. All children enrolled in the Lunch Bunch program must be toilet-trained. Please note: We may not have a PMAT trained staff on duty during each Lunch Bunch day-- parents of children who have been prescribed an Epi-Pen are advised to meet with Mickie before registering their child for the Lunch Bunch program. Space is limited, so get your registration forms in as soon as possible!
CHAPEL T-SHIRTS ORDERS are due on or before Tuesday, Sept. 14th. Orders are made once per year, so don’t miss out! We encourage our students to wear their t-shirt on the assigned class chapel day.
PONY PORTRAITS AND PONY RIDES will be held on Sept. 22nd and 23rd. (Please check your child’s class calendar for the specific date.) Feel free to dress your child in harvest colors/ Western gear—these photos make wonderful Christmas gifts for relatives…and the pony ride is a lot of fun! Please note: all children MUST have a signed permission form on file with the preschool office prior to their portrait/ pony ride. Thank you!
HOORAY FOR VOLUNTEERS! Please return your parent volunteer form to preschool in your child’s tote bag, or drop it by the preschool office. Events such as our annual “Wheel-A-Thon”, morning car line, and our two Wednesday Night Dinners require the talent and energy of all of the members of our preschool parent community. It is a great way to meet other parents, and provide a valuable service to your child’s preschool. Thank you in advance for your time---we are looking forward to working with you. J
OUR PRESCHOOL WEDNESDAY NIGHT “HARVEST DINNER” WILL BE HELD ON OCT. 27TH ! BRING YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS! The cost is just $3.00/child, and $5.00/adult. Reservation forms will be sent home during the week of Oct. 11th. Proceeds from the dinner are used as a fundraiser dedicated to playground repair/upkeep, and our preschool partial scholarship fund for families in need of assistance. It truly is a wonderful way to meet other parents and preschool staff members…and enjoy a mid-week dinner break!
