First Days of School after Spring Break are Monday, April 4th and Tuesday, April 5th.
We are still in need of gently used picture frames, primarily 8 x 10 for our Art Show at the end of the month, but will accept other sizes. If you come across any old frames while doing your spring cleaning, please consider donating them to the school so we can mat and frame the student’s artwork for the show!
Currently for next year, we have a few openings left in all of our classes if you know of anyone looking for a great place to send their preschool aged child to discover, stretch and grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually. Please don’t hesitate too long to sign up for any of these classes, as they won’t be available much longer. Don’t forget to share your $ 150.00 Gift Voucher distributed in December with others!
No school on Friday, April 15th.
The Art Show Exhibit starts on May 3rd. Throughout the school year, teachers have been collecting the student’s artwork to have framed and be placed on display for our Art Show. On Tuesday and Wednesday, the artwork will be on display in the atrium during school hours for viewing. You will be astonished at how their masterpieces look! On Thursday and Friday we will be sending home each student’s artwork. A suggested donation of $5.00 or whatever amount you feel comfortable with will be applied to the Bright Beginnings Christian Preschool Scholarship Fund. Bright Beginnings would like to thank those who have donated frames. If you have any questions about our Art Show, please ask your teachers.
In May, we will have the total poundage amount for our CEAP donations to see if we collected more than we did in 2021 with a total of 785 lbs. Thank you to all who participated.

Your Bright Beginnings Christian Preschool Teaching Staff
Bright Beginnings Christian Preschool 2021/22 COVID Protocol
The Health Department of the State of MN has updated their recommendations for COVID. Below is BBCP’s updated Protocol to reflect the State’s of MN guidelines.
Please read carefully to understand each situation to make the decision of what applies to your student in the various situations. If you have any questions, please let us know.
● If your preschool student tests positive, they will need to stay home for 5 days from the day the student tested positive and are fever free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hrs and symptoms are improving. After isolation, the student will have to wear a mask for the remaining 5 of the 10 days from testing positive.
● If a preschool student tests positive, but has NO symptoms, the student will have to stay home for 5 days from the day they tested positive. They should also wear a mask for the remaining 5 of the 10 days after testing positive.
● If your vaccinated preschool student has had a close contact with a student/person who has tested positive in or out of the classroom, they will not have to isolate unless they are showing symptoms, but should wear a mask for 10 days from exposure.
● If your preschool student has had close contact with a student/person who has tested positive in or out of the classroom, and your student was wearing a mask, your student will not need to isolate and stay home, but should continue to wear a mask.
● If your student has had close contact with a student/person who has tested positive in or out of the classroom, and your student was not wearing a mask, your student will need to isolate and stay home for 5 days and can return if showing no symptoms. A PCR test is highly recommended before returning and student needs to wear a mask for the remaining 5 of the 10 days from exposure.
● If your student has had close contact with a student/person who has tested positive in or out of the classroom, and your student has previously contracted COVID, your student does not have to isolate if they were or were not wearing a mask. Your student has natural immunities for 90 days from the time they tested positive.
At BBCP masks are not mandated with the exception of the above situations. If you want your child to wear a mask, the teachers will do their best to have them wear them during class.
Bright Beginnings is trying our best to keep our staff, students, and their families as healthy as we can. We pray that one day this will all be behind us and be just a blur in our memories. Thank you for all you do to help keep our families healthy and safe.
