WEEK OF OCTOBER 19th

Get ready for a busy, fun-filled week in Pre-K "A". A note went home today in your child's blue folder about the following 2 special events:

Wednesday October 21st--Campfire Stories 9:00-9:45
Children do not need to wear dress code on this day. Rather, they should wear clothes appropriate for a hike into the woods and sitting on logs around the campfire. We will depart from the Pre-K classroom at 8:50 to walk out to the campfire. Our second grade buddies will join us for this adventure hosted by the Lower School Librarians.

Friday October 23rd--Pajama Party and Pancakes!
Children should come to school dressed in pajamas! They can put on slippers once they get into the classroom. Children may also bring ONE stuffed animal or special blanket/object they slip with at night. We'll be ready to eat pancakes at 8:30 prepared by our parents.

A LOOK AHEAD:
Friday October 30th--Halloween Party @ 10:30
Children should wear dress code on this day and bring their costume to school with them. At 10:15, we will begin changing into costumes. Any parent help with changing into costumes would be greatly appreciated. We will parade through the Lower School.

Thursday November 5th--Community Helper Day
On this day, your child should come dressed to school as a community helper of his/her choosing (i.e. doctor, vet, dentist, nurse, teacher, librarian, police officer, etc.). You don't need to follow school dress code guidelines on this day. PLEASE DO NOT FEEL THAT YOU NEED TO GO OUT AND PURCHASE A COSTUME FOR THIS EVENT! Use resources and materials you have at home as you and your child put together a costume. For example, an adult-sized white shirt could be worn as a "white jacket" for a vet, doctor, nurse, etc. Your child is also encouraged to bring tools or items that his/her particular community helper might use to do his/her job. We do request that no toy weapons of any kind be brought to school (i.e. guns if your child comes dressed as a police officer). We will send home additional information in your child's blue folder within the next week.
