What a great week we've had in kindergarten! Our quilt is almost done! We are hoping to display it at the program on Thursday! Our trip to the playground of dreams was truly a "dream" with responsible, happy children and lots of parent help. We've celebrated lots of accomplishments this week, too!

Playground of Dreams - Thanks to Shana, Andy and Arthur's mom, and Heather, Jordan's mom, for driving for us! I'm glad that Brendan's mom, Bonnie, and Claudia's mom, Bobbie Jo, and Toby's mom, Tiffany, all came to help watch kids and enjoy the day with us. What fun!

Program, Thursday, May 20 at 6:30 PM - This program has been called the Elementary Closing Program in the past, but has been scheduled earlier this year to avoid the hectic end-of-the-year rush! The kindergarten children will be performing several items at the program. I am so proud of each of their accomplishments this year! They have worked hard! Invite grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles to attend and support your child! If you can, bring a small plate of cookies or finger fruit to share at the reception!

Memory Verse: John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself. That where I am there you may also be.

Celebrations this week - Congratulations to Alex, Brendan, and Toby! They each have accomplished one of their goals this week!

Clown - Andrew has now joined the group of shoe-tying clowns. On Thursday, he looked pretty special in his clown suit and painted face. Congratulations, Andrew!

Library Books - The children will no longer be checking books out on Wednesday. Please return any library materials that your child has checked out. I will be sending notes home next week letting you know if our records show any unreturned materials. Let us know if you think our records are wrong. Our librarian will search the shelves for any materials that you think you have returned. Thanks for working with us to get all library materials returned!

Summer Daycare - Our daycare will not be in operation yet this summer, but if you have daycare needs, please talk with Mayra Soltero at the school. She is attempting to coordinate summer care for those of you who need it. Talk to her as soon as possible, as she is currently making plans for the program.

God bless each of you with a great week-end!
