The student’s and the staff at Bright Beginnings Christian Preschool would like to thank all the party parents who have helped with the Pumpkin Parties, Happy Birthday Jesus Parties and our Valentine Parties to make them memorable. The crafts, games and scrumptious treats really made our parties the best!
Once again, Bright Beginnings Christian Preschool will be collecting non-perishable foods and personal hygiene items (preferably no glass) starting March 1st, to donate to the CEAP program to help out needy families who are less fortunate than us. Before these items are taken to CEAP on Thursday, March 24th, the students will use these items to set up a grocery store in the dramatic play area. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to participate in a community project.
During the last week of February 28 – March 4, our theme will be Bedtime Stories. Students are to wear their PJ’s to school and bring their favorite stuffed animal to preschool on March 3 & 4.
The week of March 6th our theme is WACKY! On Monday & Tuesday the 7th & 8th, students are to DRESS WACKY! Let their imaginations run wild, anything goes! On Wednesday & Thursday the 9th & 10th, students are to style their HAIR WACKY! This is such a fun week to see how creative everyone gets!
Friday, March 11th, no school. Prep for conferences.
On March 16th & 17th students are encouraged to wear green. We will be setting traps in hopes to catch a Leprechaun!
Conference times will be assigned to families for March 24th and 25th during your child’s regular class time. If the time you were assigned does not work for you, please contact your child’s teacher. Adults are asked to wear masks. Children are encouraged too, if they can. Conferences for both Mrs. Green’s & Mrs. Hoitink’s T-TH am classes will be on Thursday morning, March 24th.. Conferences for Mrs. Green’s 3 day Pre-K PLUS & Little Explorers class and Mrs. Hoitink’s conferences for her 3 day am will be on Friday morning, March 25th. Conferences will last 10 minutes for each class, except for students in the Pre-Kindergarten PLUS Class, their’s will be 15 minutes each. Students may attend conferences. Reminder: If your student is in the morning and afternoon with Mrs. Green, you will have a longer conference. If your student has Mrs. Hoitink in the morning, they will have a conference with Mrs. Green immediately following Mrs.Hoitink’s conference.
We are also in need of gently used picture frames 8 x 10 or larger preferably, but will accept other sizes for our Art Show in May. If you happen to have any frames you would like to donate, we would appreciate it.
Spring break will be March 28th through April 1st. There will not be school during this time. We hope all of you have a fantastic time spending it with your child(ren)!
