Bright Beginnings Christian Preschool

The children are doing a great job getting to know the routine at school.  Please be extra careful in the parking lot as the students are coming and going from their cars.  We want to keep this part of our day as safe as possible for everyone.  We ask that you please label all of your student’s personal belongings, such as jackets, backpacks, lunch boxes, etc. The month of October is extremely busy with many events. 

We are excited to say we are Fundraising with Gertens Greenhouse this year!  Our Gertens 2022 Holiday Fundraiser kickoff begins on October 1st and ends on the 20th at 10:00 pm.  All purchases will be made on-line and delivered on November 29th to the preschool. To place your order go directly to www.gertensfundraising.com and enter Store ID: 638. Brochures are included with the Bulletin, showing pictures and prices of the greens and poinsettias which are beautiful and perfect for the upcoming Holiday Season.  This fundraiser is our only way to raise money for our Field Trips, Special Events and equipment needed for the school.  BBCP will receive 30% of all plant sales and 15% of plant card sales.  If you have any questions, please ask your teacher.  We would like to reach a goal of 100% participation by all students in the school.  With everyone’s support, we will make this fundraiser a HUGE success! 

October 14th, we will take our first field trip. The 3 day students will going to Fire Station #5 in Maple Grove to have an opportunity for some hands-on learning and life saving lessons. When we are finished, we will return to preschool and share the highlights of our experience.  

On 10/20 & 21 the school will be closed for the MN Professional Conference.

On 10/27 & 10/31 we will be having our Pumpkin Parties.  When choosing your child’s costume for the Pumpkin Party at school, please keep in mind that they must be non-violent and bathroom friendly.  Some suggestions that work out nice are:  Animals, Insects, Prince/Princess, Cowboy/girl, Storybook Characters, etc.   In the past, the children have brought some type of treat to pass out to their classmates at the end of the party.  They usually go home with plenty of goodies to share with their family!  

Other reminders for this month:  Please turn in your Health Care Summary signed by your healthcare provider before October 12th  if you haven’t already.    

As a reminder, we will be taking our school pictures on 11/9 & 11/10.  More information on Picture Day will be in the November Bulletin.

In God’s love,

Welcome everyone!  It is September and time for school.  We hope all of you had a wonderful and relaxing summer.  We know the first few days of school can sometimes be a time of high anxiety for both the students and their parents.  We encourage you to read, “Surviving Separation, Tips for Parents”, available by request from your teachers if you are interested.

The first day of school is Monday, September 12th for the MWF students and Tuesday, September 13th for the T-Th students.

Your child will be bringing home a lime green Bright Beginnings Preschool bag at some point.  At this time, your child will bring a snack and beverage to share with their classmates and teachers during their next class.  The snack must be nutritious and store bought.  The beverages need to also be store bought and must be either a jug of 100% juice (62 oz.) or a half gallon of low-fat 1% milk.   Please be aware if your child has a friend in their class with a food allergy.  If you’re not sure, please ask one of their teachers.  

If you were not able to attend the Open House on September 7th, please see your student’s teacher for pertinent paper work.  If there is room to sign up to be a party parent, or chaperone one of your child’s field trips, and other opportunities, please do so as soon as possible. Please make sure all of your forms are turned in.  If you have a returning student, please make sure their records are all updated.  This procedure is required by the State of Minnesota.  These forms include the Registration, Emergency Card, Permission, Immunization and Healthcare Summary.  Sign up for “Remind”!  Remind is a requirement of each family to receive important classroom messages, including school cancellations.  

Bright Beginnings Christian Preschool does have a website where you can access the Bright Beginnings Bulletin, Monthly Calendar, Yearly Calendar, and Forms. The web site address is www.bbc-preschool.com.  We also have a Facebook page you can “Like”, to be able to follow any of our school announcements!

At any time during the school year, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to speak with one of the teachers.

Live Jesus in our hearts.  Forever!
