Toothbrush Challenge was a success!
Our preschool children earned toothbrushes and floss for brushing their teeth.  They used a toothbrush poster to document the number of times they brushed their teeth at home.  We donated the toothbrushes and floss to the Helen Wright Women's shelter and to Families Together.  The dental hygienist liked our posters so much she took them back to the dental office to use for artwork!

Picture Day Feb 28 and March 1
Persuasions Photography will be at our school.     Class and individual photographs will be taken.  Forms were distributed but if you need another one, there are plenty in the preschool office.  If you attend both days, your child's teacher will let you know which day pictures will be taken.  Give the form to your child's teacher as soon as possible.  The package prices are extremely reasonable and the preschool gets part of the proceeds. 
   
Springmore Visit on February 10
Some of our preschool classes visited residents at Springmore Retirement Village in February.  We took supplies to make valentines - heart doilies, stickers, markers and glue.  A great time was had by all.  They all listened to a valentine story but their favorite thing was singing Jesus Loves Me and You Are My Sunshine.
