Dear
Families-
I
am so blessed to be a part of the wonderful
celebrations that First Church, The Weekday
Program, PTC and our classes are creating to
celebrate the birth of our savior! I always take a
moment to be still and remember the reason for the
season.
There
are many fabulous things going on this
month. In our Get to Know Go and Grow
curriculum your children will be exploring making
a joyful noise, Jesus as God's son and Celebrating
Jesus' birth! Our 3's and 4's have been very
busy with Ms. Angie practicing for our annual
Christmas Program.
Progress reports will be
going home in the next few weeks. They will
list skills your child has mastered, skills your
child's teacher is working on with him/her and
other skills you can work on at home. If you
have any questions about the progress reports
please contact your child's teacher, Ms. Natalie
our Assistant Director of Child/Staff Development
or me to discuss your child's
progress.
Please enjoy your family
traditions this month and create a new one with
your child. We will continue a tradition we
started last year by having each age
group decorate their own Christmas
tree! Stop by your child's tree and ask them
about the beautiful decorations they made.
Finally,
in closing, I just wanted to touch on giving
this holiday season. There is nothing more
rewarding than to instill the gift of a
philanthropic spirit in your
child(ren). We will be partnering with
Mission Possible Kids and collecting items to
make shoe boxes for needy children locally.
"But
when you give to the needy, do not let your left
hand know what your right hand is doing, so that
your giving may be in secret. Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Matthew 6:3-43
God
Bless you all and Happy
Holidays,
Shela
