MAY 2011
Dear
Families,
Writing
the May newsletter is always a little bittersweet for me: our year is
coming to
a close and many children will be moving on
but of course I am excited for the adventures that
lie ahead for the
them – and their families – in Kindergarten and beyond. We
have a lot going on
this month so please keep this newsletter handy. I will also post it on
our
website for easy reference.
Best,
Gail
MOTHER’S
DAY TEA:
Our
annual Mother’s Day Tea will be held at 11:00 am on Thursday, May
5 and
Friday, May 6 at 11:00 am (Extended Day class will be held on Friday).
If your
child comes to school five days a week, you can choose to attend
Thursday or
Friday or both days. Due to space
constraints, we can only accommodate one guest per child. Please arrive
at the
gym entrance by 11 am, and be punctual, as the children have prepared a
few
songs for you. The staff will prepare and serve everything – this
is your special day!
Lunch
Bunch and Super Science will be held as usual.
TUITION:
For most of you, May is the last
tuition
payment. For those of you who did not make an August payment, the 10th
installment is due in June. If you are not sure which category you
belong in,
please see the Director.
FIELD DAY:
Our annual school wide Field Day is scheduled
for the morning of Friday May 27 beginning at 9 am at the Collins
Rest-A- While
Park. Rain date is Friday, June 3. You will receive all the

separate memo.

will be no school on Monday, May 30 in observance of
Memorial Day.

EARLY
RELEASE WEDNESDAY:
Just
a reminder that Wednesday, May 11 will be an
early release day for all sessions (11:45 am) for our monthly staff
meeting.
SUNSCREEN :
Warmer weather means we
will be spending
recess outdoors more often. Please apply sunscreen to your child in the
morning. We also suggest you send in a hat for further protection. Please
label your child’s hat. Thank you.
UNBIRTHDAYS
Children whose
birthdays fall during the
summer months will have a special “Unbirthday” celebration
at school. Please
talk to your child’s teachers to schedule.
SUMMER SESSION:
Space is still
available for Summer Session.
In fact, currently we do not have
enough participants to run either session so, if you are planning on
sending
your child, please turn in your enrollment form at your earliest
convenience. I
am attaching one with this newsletter. Thank you!
