School News April 2018
Happy Spring! Happy Easter! Althoughspring has arrived on the calendar, we arestill anxiously awaiting the warmer weatherof this season. The Nursery School will beclosed March 29 and resume April 9th andday care will be closed March 29 andresume on April 3. This will give my staffsome time to recharge and get ready for ourspring activities. The color of the month isappropriately purple, the church’s colorrepresenting Christ our King. Our shape ofthe month is a diamond like a kite, as wewill learn about wind and weather. In April we will also celebrate TeddyBear Pajama Day. A fun day when staff andchildren wear cozy p.j.’s and bring ourfavorite teddy bear to school. Our pre-kgraduates will be photographed wearingcaps and gowns for a wonderful portraitkeepsake. In addition, our 2 ½ year oldLearn & Play Group children will haveindividual and class portraits done.
A sure sign of spring is that I amsimultaneously working on our currentevents as well as planning and preparing forSummer Fun 2018 as well the 2018 - 2019school year. This busy time of the year isquite rewarding because it confirms to methat our early childhood program continuesto have a great reputation in the community.
May your spring season be blessed aswe celebrate the resurrection of our Lord! Happy Easter! Fondly,Caitlin DiLemme, Director
