Dear Families-

 

If you have not noticed my smile is a little bit bigger these last few weeks because I LOVE FALL!  I love Thanksgiving and Christmas and everything that comes with these family and Christ focused holidays. 

 

Last year I talked about family traditions.  It is so important as your children grow for them to know and participant in these traditions. Being involved at Church is a huge part of our traditions. First Church or your own church will have many events.  Please check out FirstChurch's website for theirs: www.firstmethodistplano.org  

 

I was very pleased with our first Open House.  Families were excited to be able to talk to their teachers and fellowship with other families in a nurturing environment.  I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all our teachers who worked very hard in preparing for open house!  It really paid off and created a magical night.   

 

Please take the time and mark your calendars with all the upcoming events listed below.  Fill up a shoe box and change the life of a child in a country around the world, donate your time or an item to our online silent auction and make a difference in the life of a local child in need.  All the upcoming events and missions we do make a difference.  

 

My Love and Blessing for a wonderful Fall season,

Shela

 

 Our Living Yearbook

 

As you may have heard, the Weekday Program has partnered with Our Living Yearbook to bring our school an exciting new way to view class pictures and share pictures on one site.  An added benefit is that this will also help raise money without fundraising! 

 

Each parent will be receiving an email in the next week directing you to activate your account. (Your username and password will only be known to you).  We will only give current parents authorization to this site. 

 

After registering your new account, simply visit Our Living Yearbook regularly to view and purchase photos taken by the Weekday Program.  Please note that only registered users, approved by the Weekday Program will have access to our school's site.  Click "Photo Galleries" and provide your login information (email and password you created).  Click the "plus" sign to open galleries categorized by year and then your child's age.  Each event you click will take you to that gallery of photos.  

 

If you are interested in helping your teacher upload pictures, partner with them or email katylane02@gmail.com
