January 2016 Newsletter
Dear Parents, Students, Staff and Friends,
It’s 2016! Can’t believe how time flies. We hope you had a
wonderful holiday season and we are glad to see all of you back again. We had a
wonderful ending to 2015. We were really proud of how awesome the Winter
Program was this year and how much fun the children had performing for all of us.
Special thanks to Marv Zwart of Lincoln Avenue Community Church for helping us
with sound. Thank you Aree, Sarah’s mom, for your help with the stage setup and
again providing the beautiful backdrop for our show. We can’t wait for the
Spring Sing.
STOP, LOOK, LISTEN
PROJECT
On Tuesday, March 1, you are invited to have your
preschooler screened for vision and hearing needs with no cost to you. You will
receive a copy of the screening results. Please complete the permission form
sent home. This free screening is provided by the Upland Foothill Kiwanis,
Upland Host Lions, San Antonio Regional Hospital, A local dentist, and the
nursing department of California Baptist University.
TRIKE-A-THON
On March 11, 2016 we will be having our 3rd Annual
Trike-a-Thon for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our last event took
place on the morning of February 6, 2013. Our school raised $2,026 for the
children of SJCRH. Our kids really enjoyed bringing their vehicles, both riding
and pushing toys, to raise money for other kids, they were really proud of
themselves. This is part of our mission to be an integral part of the community
where our children are aware of others and are willing to give a hand to help
each other. We will be sending more information out about this next month. We
are so excited once again to be a part of this great cause and to make a
difference in the community.
SCHOLASTIC BOOKS
We are doing a Scholastic
Reading Club book order again this month. We have added over a hundred books to
our library in the 3 months we have offered this program. This months’ orders
are due by Friday, January 29th. You may turn in a check with the
order form or use the activation code to purchase books online. Thank you so
much for your continued participation and support of this program.
EXTRA CURRICULAR CLASSES
We are offering Soccer
Shots, Petite Feet Dance Company and Art Classes again this semester. Dance is
on Mondays, Art is on Tuesdays, and Soccer is Thursdays (soccer for only 10
weeks starting 1/21) each week except for when holidays conflict and classes
are prorated or rescheduled. Please see the office for more information and
sign up forms.
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
We are continuing to
collect Box Tops for Education. We did submit our Box Tops in November and just
received a check for $83.00. Please go to Boxtops4education.com for more
information about participating products. Please bring your Box Tops to the
office or leave it with your child’s teacher. Each Box Top is worth $.10 and
can help us reach our fundraising goals. We have raised about $900 so far this
year.
JACKETS
As the weather gets colder
and wetter, we have a few reminders about your child’s jacket. Thank you for
making sure your child’s jacket is taken home each day. The coat rack can get
full and be difficult for the children to identify their own belongings. As part of our curriculum we are trying to
help the children go from a dependent to independent state. We would like your
support by allowing your child to hang up and collect their own jacket. Since
everyone is bringing jackets daily we are doing lessons to help them become
proficient in putting on, taking off, hanging up and taking their jacket off of
the hanger.
Additionally, I have read
several articles about jackets and car seat safety. Bulky jackets add slack and
children have come out of their seatbelts during accidents on occasion. Please
go to http://csftl.org/hello-winter-good-bye-coats/
for more information about jackets and their effect on child seat safety.
EMERGENCY KIT UPDATES
It is time to update disaster
and emergency supplies again. You will be
receiving a pink note listing the items needing to be replaced. Please bring in the items requested so that
we can return the original items to you.
Thank you!
