Dearest Families,
Happy spring! (a couple days early) and what an incredibly gentle end to winter so far! It has been a little bit confusing each morning trying to decide how to dress for the day. Please bear in mind the changing temperatures when preparing your child for the day. Layers are best so that we can add or take away as needed. Also, we will be encountering mud and sand and sometimes snow so extra clothing in case something gets wet would be great.
We have been excited to see the grass (and mud) in our yard again, to watch as our little bulbs, which we planted last fall, emerge, and to play in the sand box again. The Monday class walked to the youth garden last week and planted peas with Miss Robin, we are working out a day next week for the Tuesday-Thursday kids to do the same. I will let you know when we decide upon the best day! If you haven’t heard yet, we also have a new addition to our school – red wrigglers! Miss Robin was kind enough to trust us with her precious worm farm and the kids are loving learning about them and feeding them.
Extra Pots?
We are going to start planting some seeds. If anyone has extra pots around that the kids could use that would be great! We need some larger ones for each child that will eventually go home with them and we need a variety of sizes that will live at the school.
Fundraiser
Many of you have been involved in the planning of an upcoming fundraiser for the school, but here is a little update: We are having a tapas/ wine/ music/ silent auction event at the Regis, Sunday, April 17 th . This will be an early evening event, catered by Ox Pasture w/ music from JP Westbrook. We have another planning meeting this Wednesday, March 16 th at 6pm at the library. A couple ways that everyone can help are:
1. Unique and awesome silent auction items
2. Spreading the word! Once we finalize the details, we will begin hanging flyers and taking reservations, I will have a stack at the school so that we can all pitch in to distribute them.
Spring Break
There is no school the week of the 28 th – 31 st . Have a wonderful Easter and a restful break! School will resume again on Monday the 4 th of April.
Parent/ Teacher Conferences
I would like to meet with each of you in April, the week of the 18 th -22 nd to talk about your child and plans for the next school year. Please contact me to set up a meeting at your convenience. And/or I will have sign-up sheets out when it gets closer.
May Day Festival
Our School May Day festival is on the calendar for Sunday, May 1 st . I would love some help planning for this event. Please keep it in mind and I will be calling a Festival planning meeting when it gets closer.
Warmly, Miss Lista
May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!
