January 2024 Bulletin

Saturday, December 30th, 2023

School resumes on January 2nd for the T-TH students and January 3rd for the MWF students.  

January 4th & 5th, we will be going on a field trip to Eastman Nature Center. We will take a personal tour outside to learn about Animals in the Winter with a Naturalist, we will explore hands-on exhibits and enjoy an engaging puppet show. A portion of this field trip is being paid for through our Gertens Holiday Poinsettias & Greens Fundraiser.

On January 12th, we will have in-person preschool even though Osseo School District is having a remote-learning day.

There will be no school on Monday, January 15th due to Martin Luther King Day.  

The week of January 16th-19th we will be learning about Minnesota.  Students can wear their favorite Minnesota shirts all week to Preschool.

During the week of our theme “Summertime Fun”, students are to wear their summertime clothes to preschool on Thur., 1/25 & Fri., 1/26.  We will turn up the heat in our rooms to make it feel more summer-like and bring a beach towel with your name on it!

After 22 wonderful years of owning and operating Bright Beginnings Christian Preschool, I have decided that it is time for me to step into retirement.  At the end of this current school year, I will be retiring and closing the doors to the Preschool.  Efforts were made to continue the Preschool under new ownership, but unfortunately those efforts were unsuccessful.  

It has been such an honor to teach your children, get to know each family on a personal basis and be a part of your lives.  This was not an easy decision, and I hope you will celebrate with me the long journey our Preschool program has had.   For those of you looking for a future preschool, I can offer you a few suggestions.  Please feel free to contact me.  Blessings to all.

May God shine His light upon you in the New Year!

December 2023 Bright Beginnings Bulletin

Friday, December 1st, 2023

December is a busy time of the year for all families and for our Preschool too.  This month is short, but it is packed with lots of fun activities.  

The delivery of the 2023 Gertens Fundraiser will be on Tuesday, November 28th.  Please make plans to pick up your orders that afternoon.  We want your orders to be delivered to your buyers as fresh as possible.  A “Remind” will be sent out with more details and the exact times on November 28th.

Scholastic Book orders are due on Wednesday, November 29.  Books make great Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers!

On Friday, December 1st there will be NO SCHOOL

On December 14th & 15th the preschoolers will be performing their Christmas Program in the sanctuary, which starts at 11:00. On this day you can send your child(ren) in their special Christmas outfits.  All family members and friends are invited to watch this magical performance.  Refreshments will be served afterwards in the gym.  Students are to come to school at their regularly scheduled time on this day as well.  

In the past, the children have had a small gift exchange (not to exceed $5.) at each of our Happy Birthday Jesus Parties.  These parties will be held on December 18th and 19th.  If you wish to participate in this exchange, please purchase a gift for another child of your child’s same gender.  Label the gift girl or boy and whom it is from.  If your child attends Little Explorers in the afternoon, those students will be doing a Book Gift Exchange during their afternoon party.  

There will be no school on December 20th through January 1st during the Holiday Season.  School resumes on January 2nd and 3rd.

 

Live, Jesus, in our hearts. Forever! 

Your Bright Beginnings Christian Preschool Staff, 

Mrs. Bruun, Mrs. Hoitink, Mrs. Magner, Mrs. Petrie and Mrs. Schlicht
