Security System Update

We are very excited that our security system is in the process of being installed. NewTech Systems is currently working on installing cameras for the front, back, and side doors as well as the field area, bike path, and playground. These cameras will work in conjunction with a card reader system that will be installed shortly. After new front doors are installed, the sytem will be put in into place and each family will be given an entry card for the front door. When dropping off or picking up a child, the family member will swipe the card to unlock the front door. If a family member does not have a card or forgets it, he or she will ring the buzzer and the church secretary or CDC director will buzz him or her in.

2010 Federal Food Program Forms

This is a reminder for all parents and guardians that the 2010 Applications for Free and Reduced Price Meals were distributed to all students on Tuesday. These were attached to sign-in/sign-out sheets or put in your child's pocket in the hallway. These forms must be returned to your child's teacher by Friday, July 30th. If your family does not qualify and you do not wish to provide financial information, you may write "N/A" in the corresponding space. You must, however, provide your child(ren)'s name(s) and your social security number and sign the form. Thank you for your cooperation!

Summer fun!

It's hard to believe that summer is almost halfway over! With all the fun our students (and teachers!) have been having, the past few weeks have flown by. Our 2's and 3's classes are learning lots of new information about the rain forest and outer space, respectively. Feel free to stop by Mrs. Tiffany's room to see the moon rocks and lunar rovers the students have been working on, or stop by Mrs. Tracey's room to ask the kids what a "bromeliad" is. We've learned a lot this summer and are eager to share our new knowledge!

Mrs. Dana's Pre-K class is having a busy summer as well! The students have been learning about all about the ocean and have been busy with field trips as well. Pre-K takes a walking field trip to the library for the summer reading program every week, plus they have been to the pool and the movies. They will be heading to Chuck-E-Cheese today! They will be squeezing in as much fun as possible before heading off to kindergarten next month.

Schoolers have been on the go almost every day over the past few weeks. On Mondays and Fridays they go to Shawnee park and pool for swimming and lunch. The lifeguards have been wonderful at this pool and know our students and their swimming levels well- THANK YOU to all of the lifeguards! Schoolers have also been to the movies to see "The Karate Kid" and the free movie "Astro Boy", the Clay Center, the Popcorn Store, Risin' Dough Bakery, the Dairy Bar, and to Ms. Bonnie's farm to ride her horses. Upcoming field trips include Pump Up the Fun, the movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs", the WCHS news station, and ice skating.

If you are a parent considering enrolling your child for the fall, please be sure to call as soon as possible. We only have a few spots left in the twos and threes rooms and the Pre-K class, and the schoolers room is full. If you have a school-age child that you wish to enroll, however, please call us to see if we have had any openings or to put your child on the waitlist.
