Director's
Report |
|
It
has been such a wonderful summer! We are
getting ready to kick off our new school year and
welcome back all of our amazing
families.
This
summer we were able to get a fresh coat of
paint, new bulletin boards and pilot new
programs. My Friends' Place has also been
busy on field trips and every
week talking about what "God Made Me to
Be".
The
MFP reading challenge has been very successful, we
have several children that have achieved over 900
minutes and the number that are in the 300 &
600 have exceeded the bulletin board
space!
We
are very excited about our upcoming in-service
August 25, 26, 27 & 29th! Remember
we will be completely closed except for our MFP
afterschool pick up on the 25th &
26th.
I
look forward to seeing everyone at Parent
Orientation August 30 &
31st. Our teachers are
also getting ready for Meet the Teacher on
August 30 & 31st. Please look for dates
later in September and beginning of October for
Open House this year to showcase your
child/ren's work. This will also give
you an opportunity to talk to your child's
teacher/s about their first month of school.

MFP
Summer Breakaway Update |
|
Hello
MFP families,
I
can't believe how fast this summer has flown
by. We have endured the heat and are hanging
on to the last bit of summer before school
begins. We have some exciting field
trips coming up in August including ice skating
and the World Aquarium. We will also hit the
old video games at
Nickelrama.
The
MFP kids decided to collect school supplies for
families in need. In some countries,
children don't have books or school
supplies. Many have no schoolrooms and
classes are held in inadequate or half destroyed
buildings, tents, or even the open air. We
are collecting the supplies for UMCOR (United
Methodist Committee on Relief) and hoping you
could help us out with this. I have included
the items we are collecting below and the kids
have been busy sewing bags to send the supplies
in. We appreciate all your help in donating
items and keeping the kids actively
involved.
·
Blunt scissors
·
Spiral Notebooks
·
Hand held pencil sharpener
·
30 cm ruler
·
Unsharpened pencils
·
2.5 inch eraser
·
24 count crayons
Thanks,
Jaysha

Coordinator
