We all have a way in which we celebrate this season.    It might be getting cozy, staying inside and waiting for spring and new life to arrive.  It may be giving the gift of time to others.  To respect all people and faiths at Millbrae Nursery School, we celebrate the season of light. Whether it is for brightening the dark nights, or light up a menorah or Christmas tree we all bring light into our homes this season.

Celebrate your culture and the excitement of the winter festivities. Share with us and each other how you celebrate in your homes.

The children can feel the excitement in the air, and it’s hard to contain.  I hope you catch their joy and excitement.

Wishing you  PEACE, JOY, LOVE  and LAUGHTER this holiday season.

Always,  Teacher Brigidan

Thank you for choosing Millbrae Nursery School for your child and family. There was a fantastic attendance at the Orientation. If you happened to miss that meeting please check in with your teacher. As a cooperative preschool we rely on the support of our families to ensure a successful school year. Each of us, Staff and Parents have a very important ROLE in making that happen. Working together and supporting each other is how it all comes together. Our goal as Staff and Board is to continually work at developing that partnership with you and your child. The County Office of Education has added a very easy home and school participation component to build a connection and extension of the learning that happen all of the time.

I believe Millbrae Nursery School offers you the best learning environment for children.

I hope you will create many wonderful experiences and memories here.

Welcome to MNS.

Director/Teacher Brigidan

The teachers are very busy finishing up their work for the school year and we/I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our families for their commitment to our school and your child’s first educational experience. It is because of your work that we are able to continue striving to be a great program.

It is always hard to say goodbye; sadly, a few board members will be graduating out of our school and off to Elementary. I would like to thank them for the work that they have done.

Deborah Hesse – Purchaser and caregiver to our rabbits and chicken. She has kept our pantry well stocked and has been devoted to the care of our animals!

Jennifer Hoskins – Financial Clerk: She kept our extended care billing in great order, and has worked at all of our fundraising events.

Sherry Scardino – Fundraising Chair: managed our many fundraising events, most recently the Silent Auction. It was a successful and fun evening.

Susan Miranda- Publicity; posted and organized our newsletter and social events to help keep you informed.

Thelma Hernandez- Secretary: Kept the minutes for our board and business meetings.

Katarine Amaral-Carneiro- Housekeeping; she kept our school looking clean and fresh. Helping to preserve a clean place for our children to learn.

Juan Becerra- Maintenance: He has kept our school safe and repaired. Keeping our school a safe place for our children to play.

They all have done an amazing job. The Staff, Board members and I thank you!

We couldn’t have done it with out your commitment.

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you also to all the parents who helped organize the night. It was a wonderful event. Thank you to Lily and Richard Wang-Harvey for enriching our preschool’s Chinese New Year experience.

The kiddos and families enjoyed it all!

Our Spring Party will be on Saturday, March 27th, hosted by the Pre K Class. Please show your support by attending. We are looking for non-sweet donations for the goodie bags.

Please remember that our business meeting is on Tuesday, March 9th at 7pm. One representative from each family MUST attend to vote on the budget for next year. It is very important that a family member is present.

This is the time of year I am so appreciative of the “park” (as the kiddos call it) that we have as our play yard!!! The fresh
air, flowers in bloom, it looks as if SPRING is finally on its way.

Thank you for all that you do to keep our school looking so wonderful and for your constant support!

Always, Brigidan

Congratulations to all of the winners who won prizes at our annual raffle. We had some very nice prizes.

Thank you Shane and Peter for building the new slide, it looks wonderful. The kids are having a great time on it.

I am looking for help to plan our budget for the next school year, and to set goals for our school, if you are interested in volunteering please let me know.

As always,
THANK YOU for your support!
Brigidan

May this season of light fill your hearts and homes with the warmth and joy of all these gifts!

Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, EED SA’ED, Joyeux Noël, Happy Kwanzaa!
