In February, we celebrated our 100th day of school and enjoyed our Valentine party! We also had a visit from Dr. Whitney Berelc to learn about our teeth and how we can take good care of them. For our service project, we decorated bags from Market 50 and provided a lunch to the staff of the Hart County Health Department.
We’ll be learning all about spring in March! In our Christian curriculum, we will be preparing for Easter by learning that Jesus loves us so much that the died on the cross and is alive today. We will celebrate Read Across America week with some fun dress-up days and special story time. We’ll also have a Pet Week and a Career Week. Our lead teachers will be attending this year’s virtual Georgia Preschool Association annual conference and look forward to incorporating new ideas into our instruction. For this month’s service pro-ject, we will be collecting donations for the Hart County Animal Shelter. If you’d like to contribute food or bedding, there will be a bin located just out-side the preschool entrance. As always, we appreciate your continued pray-ers and support for our preschool!

The Church Center
Important notes & directions
Attendance at our Church services is very important to our staff. We have decided to use The Church Center as our new way of tak-ing attendance.
You may add the Church Center to your phone, create a profile (recommended), & check-in you and your family each week— or — you can fill out the information below and we will add your family. We would like to include all members, regular attendees, and those that attend occasionally.
Information on church center will not be given to others without permission. We will use this information to update our records.
You may bring this form by the church office, to worship, or mail it
to the church.
Our goal will be for families to add the Church Center app to their
phone & check-in each week they attend, but we will have a greeter
at the doors to check-in if you are unable to add the app to your cell
phone. There will be multiple ways in the next few weeks to help
you set up the app if you have trouble.
We would like to have all information by Feb. 28th.
We will begin using the check-in system on March 7th.
