Beautiful Snowy Day at the Pre-K!

Thank you to everyone for your patience, perseverance and positive attitude as we work with this never-ending snow.

Shout out to Mr. Marco for arriving at 5 am today to chip away at the layer of ice covering everything. And to the teachers who drove in icy conditions to get here--we appreciate you!

Introducing

the MCPK Cookbook!

This year, in honor of how much extra time we’ve been spending at home with our kids, MCPK is debuting its first ever cookbook!

Our goal is to fill its pages with recipes that have been kid-tested and approved, and that highlight the diversity of cultures that makes the Pre-K so great.

We are asking for submissions from families, staff and friends of the Pre-K. Sales of the cookbook will go toward our Scholarship Fund, helping more families in our community access quality pre-school education.

Please click the Sign Up Genius link below if you would like to submit a recipe. Space is limited, so it’s possible that you won’t see your recipe in the final book.

Submissions are due by March 1, and the cookbooks will be available to pre-order starting in April. Recipes (and questions) should be submitted to Justine Walsh at jvmoncrief@yahoo.com.

Please include:

*list of ingredients with measurements

*number of servings

*step by step procedure

*Let us know what name you would like attached to the submission.

*We would also love to hear about where your recipe comes from and why it is special to your family.

Thank you! We can’t wait to see what everyone’s been cooking.

Message Regarding Drop-Off for classrooms 2,3,8 and 9

With snowy conditions continuing on Education Drive, we would like to encourage families to do the following things for drop off in the morning so we can keep everyone safe:

-When you pull into the driveway, please pull down as far as you can. We will try to make sure to "direct" traffic as far down the driveway as possible so we don't have cars stopped at the top of the driveway.

-Please have your child get out on the right side (passenger side) to avoid them having to step into the driveway. The driveway is an active driveway and cars do drive through the driveway every morning. With slippery and wet conditions it is much safer for the children to get out on the passenger side.

-If you need to get your child out of the car and then put their coat/mask/items on, please do so on the passenger side or, walk them to the front and get them organized there.

We thank you for your patience with the snowy conditions and we will continue to try to get things cleared up.
