Hi Parents and Community, As the new year is upon us, we would like to continue our tradition of supporting our teachers and making our school into a beautiful learning environment. We will take this month's last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to prepare for the new school year. Friday and Saturday will be designated for helping teachers in their classrooms. Sunday will be for general school help. Here are a few ways to help: 1. Specific Class Help: Go to the care calendar, look for your child's grade/teacher, and sign up for a day and time you would like to help the teacher prepare the classroom. (If you have more than one child, you can sign up for additional spots) 2. General School Help: Go to the care calendar, choose a day/time, and select 'General School Help Team.' 3. Refreshment & Lunch Help: Go to the care calendar and select 'Refreshment & Lunch Team'. Breakfast will be provided on both days by our local bagel shop. 4. Financial: If you want to help offset the cost of getting classrooms and the school ready and food provided for volunteers, please pick an item from our wishlist. Thanks so much, and here's to a great year!! Principal Hawkins
