Dear Parents,

....And in a blink of an eye, we say goodbye to March and welcome April! Needless to saw we are super excited about our Spring Egg Hunt to take place on Wednesday, April 5th. This is a parent involvement event so we will allow up to 2 guests per child to the event. Be sure to arrive on time as our little bunnies are so very fast and in many cases they find all the eggs in minutes! If your child has not turned in their dozen eggs filled with NON candy items, please do so by Tuesday or purchase a dozen filled ones from us for $5. Here is the schedule:

9:00 Orange Door

9:30 Rainbow

10:00 Brown & Green (on separate playgrounds)

10:30 Red & Blue (on separate playgrounds)

11:00 Purple & Yellow (on separate playgrounds)

11:30 Silver

12:00 Gold

Class photos have arrived. By mistake the company sent one for every child. That said, if you did not order one and would like one, just ask for it at the door. The 8x10 photo is of their entire class as well as their teachers. They make great mementos! For everyone who takes a photos, your Brightwheel account will be billed $12. If you do not want the photo, we will send them back to the company at the end of the sale. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go to buy new playground balls and other equipment. We will start handing out those photos on Monday at drop off and pick up. If you would like one, just ask for it.

REMINDER: Each year children die in cars as drivers are distracted and forget to take sleeping kids out of cars. DCF requires twice a year that we remind you to LOOK BEFORE YOU LOCK your cars to make sure children are not left inside of your car. There is a sign on the bulletin board reminding you of this. DCF requires proof that I showed you that sign. Please sign and date next to your child's name to indicate that you saw the poster. Thank you for your assistance in complying with the state requirement.

TEACHER APPRECIATION LUNCHES: Each year the last 8 weeks of the school year, we ask that each class sign up for a day to sponsor a Teacher Appreciation Luncheon for our STELLAR STAFF. Each Monday a sign up sheet will be posted for the upcoming week with space for each family to sign up for one item. Next week, the Silver and Gold classes will sponsor the lunch. If you are in those classes and have not signed up, please do so on Monday.
