Calendar Items:
Erin Davis won the drawing for half-off May’s tuition. Thanks again for all of you providing me with invaluable feedback and support. If you weren’t able to do it yet I would still love your comments and feedback.
Next week we will be going to Willow Park Zoo for a field trip! This is our last field trip for the year. Wear your t-shirts and let me know if you would like to come as a parent helper.
This Saturday is the Health Day’s Parade. Last year we had a lot of fun doing the parade. We will be riding in our little truck. I will be playing my guitar and the children can sing along and throw candy. We will keep all the students with us in the truck until after the parade where they will get a treat. Parade Route: Starts at Sky View High School, heads west on 400 South, then along 100 East to 100 North. We will meet you at 100 North and 100 East. There is a church parking lot that we will park and wait there. The parade is a fairly small parade and mostly local businesses participate. It will be a lot of fun. Be sure to put some sun protection on your little ones because it will be a warm day. Please contact me if you are interested in helping pass out flyers to parade goers.
Summer Preschool registration has begun! I will do just once a week classes throughout the summer. This is fun for preschoolers to look forward to something during the summer and will help them keep up on things they learned in the school year so they are ready for Kindergarten. I will send a registration form online in your e-mail and if you would like a hard copy let me know and I’ll send it home in their backpacks.
May’s Tuition is Due this week.

Home Project: This week we are talking about bugs, and insects. Encourage your little budding scientist to find bugs outside while he is playing. Ask him questions about the bug. Does it have wings, what color is it, and how many legs does it have? Etc.
