Dear Barlina House Families:
We have had an amazing school year. Thank you for making it happen!
I hope everyone enjoyed their time at Barlina this year. It has been a very busy year. The children continue to develop and refine their skills. We are very proud of all the progress the children have made throughout the school year. The teachers are in the process of completing the children’s spring assessments which will be sent home this month. If you would like to discuss your child’s progress/development with the teachers, please feel free to contact us to set up a time and date.
Thank you to all that participated in the Crystal Lake Park District 100 Year Anniversary Sing-A-Long at Feinberg Park on April 30. It went great. The children did a wonderful job. We are so proud of our kids.
The classrooms have been working on a special Mother’s Day video. It will be emailed to you. Each class will have a different video. If you do not receive the email, please contact me and I will resend it. We tried to make it as special as we could. Enjoy.
On Wednesday, May 22 and Thursday, May 23, we will be having our special Olympic Days outside, weather permitting. Please be sure your child wears gym shoes for this event. Our Preschool Family Picnic will be held on Friday, May 28, at Main Beach, from 10:00am until 12:30pm. The picnic is for ALL the classes. Information for all these events will be sent home at a later date. Please be sure to check your calendars for all our special events during this month.
Thank you! The preschool staff would like to thank all our families for participating in providing snacks for all the children this year. Snack is always so important to the children. They enjoy talking to their friends.
We say a sad goodbye to all the children moving on to Kindergarten and wish them the best! We look forward to a new school year in the fall and to all our returning students. Also if you have not yet registered for next year, please go online or visit the Administrative Office and register.
Barlina House is offering a Preschool Summer Camp called “Explore with Barlina”. Three, two week sessions will be offered during this summer. One day each session, the camp will be meeting at a different park district site during the summer camp program. More information for this program is included in the summer Crystal Lake Park District brochure and on our website along with fun activities for the whole family.
It has been an honor having you all at Barlina. Thank you for making this a wonderful place to learn and have fun. Be safe and enjoy your summer!
Sincerely,
Donna Maccrindle, Barlina House Director
