FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: KINDNESS

This month’s “fruit” is KINDNESS! When we are kind, we are allowing others to see Jesus shine through us.

This is a time of year when we review classroom routines and procedures, and focusing on kindness fits in perfectly with these lessons. Through books, songs, and classroom discussions and activities, we will explore, practice, and reinforce what it means to be kind.

TRIKE-A-THON NEXT WEEK

Just six sleeps until our annual St. Jude Trike-a-Thon! This fun fundraising event for our Older Twos, Threes, Pre-K and Kindergarten classes will take place on Thursday, January 18th. Our little saints will ride their bikes/scooters on a closed and safe route around the All Saints School parking lot, all while learning to give back to other kids in need through this unique fundraiser for St. Jude.

When: Thursday, January 18, 2024

Where: All Saints School parking lot

Who: Older Twos, Threes, Pre-K, and Kindergarten students

Why: To teach bike safety and the importance of helping others—all while having fun! With your support, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.

Details: Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend. Class times and additional information can be found here. Plan to drop off your child's labeled bike/scooter and helmet in the gym or carline during drop off on Thursday; then you'll take these items back home with you following the event.

For more information, please contact Amanda Mestdagh at amanda4bes@gmail.com or text 407-883-8993.

FALL 2024 REGISTRATION NEWS

Procedure Explained – Please Read Carefully

On Tuesday, January 16th, our currently enrolled families will receive a Pre-Registration Form for each child in the family. All available classes and options for our next school year (August 2024 - May 2025) will be listed. Complete the form by filling in your 1st and 2nd choices for your child next year.

Important: When making your selections, please understand that each year there are teachers who change classroom assignments for a variety of reasons, and next Fall will be no exception. The class you choose may have a different teaching team next year than the one in place now. Trust that we will provide a wonderful experience for your child! In an effort to plan for your needs for the upcoming school year, we reserve the right to make any adjustments necessary in the makeup of our classrooms. If registration numbers exceed or do not meet requirements, we may cancel or change as necessary.

You will be given from January 16th through January 18th to fill out your Pre-Registration Forms and return them to the school office. 

Confirmation cards will be sent home on Tuesday, January 23rd with your child’s placement for next year along with the deposit amount due.

It is imperative that we receive your deposit on time, by 2:10 p.m. on January 29th, so that you do not lose your placement.

All registration materials - Pre-Registration Forms, and monies - must be turned in directly to the school office. DO NOT place registration material in your child’s backpack and assume that the teacher will find it and turn it in for you!
