October Newsletter

Vehicle Day is coming up Wednesday, November 7th. We will have even more vehicles this year! This is a great opportunity to ask your children after school : Which was your favorite vehicle? Did you see any you had never seen before? Did you learn anything new about vehicles?

Hello dear SRPS families!!

It is hard to believe we only have a few more days left in October. We are really getting into our busy routine and adjusting nicely here at SRPS. Walking down the hallways, visiting classrooms, and seeing your children playing outdoors I must say, without a doubt, that all of our young students are enjoying preschool as much as we are enjoying having them here!

I would like to take a moment to thank all of you for supporting our fundraisers. Without you, there would be no way we could make them all as successful as they have been and continue reaching our goals to improve the education of our preschool children.

We have a couple of busy weeks coming up. Please make sure to check with your child's teacher about confirming or scheduling your time to meet with them for parent/teacher conferences (more information below). Also, as you have noticed, our classrooms keep transforming into different themes. Our wonderful teachers plan so diligently to provide your children with the best learning experiences and life skills with the purpose of continuing growing and carry-on for years to come.

Remember, please sign-in and out by writing legible initials next to your child's name. This is a state requirement.

Stay tuned for all the news and information that keeps coming your way, by checking out your child's class newsletters and Facebook pages.

I am beyond grateful to be the Director at Shadow Rock Preschool. We are extremely thankful to have parents like you who have helped us build SRPS into what we are now and continue supporting us and challenging us, in our efforts to become even better. Thank you for all you do as parents, for your support, and for continuing working with us on this journey.

Sincerely,

Magda Taglienti

Our Garden

Have you had a chance to check out our new garden yet? It took a lot of work over the hot summer to beautify it, but the waiting was all worth it!!

Now that the weather is cooling down, our wonderful teachers and students will begin preparing the soil to start planting... we can't wait! In the meantime, the preschoolers will work on personalizing each class garden area to make it their very own. We are very excited for the transformation to begin.

Thank you Mrs. Marquart for all the time you put into this project over the summer!

HEARD IN THE HALLS

Sounds like our young students are very happy to be at school everyday. They enjoy playing with friends and sharing what is on their mind when walking down the hallways. These are just some of the wonderful things we've heard them saying:

As we were coming in from the playground, one of the boys proclaimed, "I am hotter than a hot dog!"

Unicorn Class

One of the students was painting at the easel, his painting was all black. When Ms. Sue asked him to tell her about it, he said: "it is the TV turned off!"

Butterfly Class

Mrs. Marquart overheard one of her students outside saying, "It's a hot day, I am trying not to get sand in my underwear so I don't have to take a shower or a bath!"
