The festivities begin at 10am, with crafts, stories, songs and food. And, at 11am … Santa is coming!

Please sign up in your child’s classroom with the number of people who will be attending and the potluck dish you will bring to share. This is a fun, festive, warm celebration of our MNS community at this special time of year. Please join us!

• Pre-K Graduation begins promptly at 11:00am, with picture-taking time slots available from 9:00am (see Teacher Liselle to claim your time slot). 

• Following the Graduation ceremony, there will be just enough time to dry your tears of joy before our all-School Picnic at 1:00pm. Please sign up in your classroom with the number of people attending, as well as the potluck item you will bring to share with the other families.

If you selected the Graduation or Picnic as your MNS job for this year, I have contacted you by email to confirm your assistance with these events. Likewise, if you have a maintenance or housekeeping workday to make up, I have also sent you an email. Please make sure you allow email from “chris@snakecharmer.com” so that these emails don’t get lost in your spam filter.

Let’s make this Saturday a joyous celebration of our children’s accomplishments and growth this year!

The good news? We have plenty of heart decorations for Valentine’s Day next year!

Now, let’s get ready for an amazing All-School Picnic and Pre-K  Graduation on Saturday, June 11!

-Start Young-  Even the youngest child can look at the pictures, turn the pages and expand their vocabulary when you read to them often.

-Read Often-Books at bedtime are great but why wait for then??  Keep books in the car for those long car rides.  Have a quiet, well-lit place where you and your child can comfortably read together, or where they can have a little quiet alone time to persue the books themselves.  We have a “cozy corner” in the bedroom and you can often find my daughter there “reading” to her dolls.

-Visit the Scholastic Book Fair !!!!-   Getting new books is so exciting for kids, especially when they get to pick them out!  We will be hosting the Scholastic Book Fair starting Friday Nov. 12th, with a special OPEN HOUSE on Saturday, the 13th of NOV.  There will be lots of great books for all ages and if you are not familiar with scholastic prices you will be amazed at the bargains!!

We hope to see you at the book fair.   Thank for your support and Happy Reading,         Jenny & Nicole
