SCHOOL PHOTO DAYS
Wednesday, September 28 (9am-3pm)
& Thursday, September 29 (9am-12pm)

Dear MNS Families,

This is the first year our school is fortunate enough to have found a talented artist, Sheila Krakow, who also believes in the spirit of co-op by working with the Fundraising team to develop a photo program where a percentage of all photo sales are donated back to the school. Along with recession-approved prices, our dollars are stretched even further since a portion of the sales goes towards our Fundraising Accounts. Sheila will come to our school and take the class photos. And you may also elect to have your child photographed individually in and around our school’s grounds.

Look for a poster in the BIG Classroom for a sampling of her work. Sheila’s photographic style captures the amazing personality of each child and serves as a wonderful memory of our beautiful kiddos from the precious and fleeting preschool years.

Thank you for your support,
Fundaising Team

You’ll receive an order form during Parent Ed (this week). If you want individual photos sessions, you must schedule in advance!
These photographs go far beyond the usual posed school photo sessions, and capture both your child’s personality in action AND our extraordinary playground!
Check out sample photos near the circle in the large classroom.
A portion of every order (class photos, individual photos, AND disc with full rights for individual sessions) goes toward your fundraising requirement for the year.
You can view the photos before committing to a purchase.

And a little video… the kids were so cute as they performed “The Very Hungry Caterpillar’

Thanks to everyone for all the work that went into the celebration!

Pre-K Carwash

MNS Parent — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 05:39:03 +0000

I always admire the skill building activities activities our teachers come up with. One hot day in June, on my workday we had a “carwash” – all tricycles, cars, ride-on toys and other vehicles were washed by the preschoolers.

It was a real low-work day for the working parents, all the kids were so busy and fascinated by this new activity. The children worked so well in teams and they stayed surprisingly dry too.

If you think about it, there is so much the kids can learn from this fun activity. Teamwork, sharing, taking care of and being responsible for their own needs and their own stuff, cleaning. Just like out motto: Learning Through Playing!

And it wasn’t just that the kiddos loved it – everything was sparkly clean at the end.

Pre-K Train Ride Field Trip

MNS Parent — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 07:11:16 +0000

We had beautiful weather for our field trip, the kiddos were very excited. We took the train from San Bruno to Burlingame and walked to Washington Park. The playground with monkey bars and big sand-water tables was new and exciting to the children and they really enjoyed their little adventure.

What a fun field trip!

When we wanted to leave the train was almost 15 minutes late and we sat and sang for a while. I also filmed some of the singing, I hope I’ll get around to posting it soon, stay tuned…

Kids photographing Kids

MNS Parent — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 16:29:15 +0000

Leilani took her camera to school and shared it freely. I took a few, a few photos, elementary school aged kids took a few, but almost all of the photos were taken by the Millbrae Nursery School preschoolers, the Pre-K class. I am a little sad, this was one of their last days together, this fall most of them will be in Kindergarten

Most of the photos were taken in the beautiful and spacious playyard, it is the biggest playground I have ever seen at a school. I always admire how happy the children look, this is especially true if they are taking pictures of each other, and no adult prompts them to “smile for the camera”.

That was among the photos, I thought it makes a good alternate title for this post. “What I See”

MNS Train field trip to Washington Park

amy — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 04:14:22 +0000

Today the children, and grown-ups enjoyed a train ride field trip to Washington Park in Burlingame. Our 2 & 3 year old class boarded Cal-Train at the San Bruno station, and the kiddos had to make the big decision of sitting upstairs or downstairs. After settling into our seats, we all were quickly smiling, talking, laughing and singing; much to the amusement of the morning commuters! We even caught a quick glimpse of Millbrae Nursery school from the train windows as we zoomed by. At Washington Park we enjoyed a delicious snack of homemade pumpkin muffins, fresh fruit, cheese and juice. We ended our fieldtrip by blowing gallons of bubbles into the air, and sleepily riding the train back to school.

Posy Parade – The Outcome

MNS Parent — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 14:44:54 +0000

Sunday we had great weather and an even better turnout – around 70 people were were attending, most of them in great outfits. We had lots of fun, the kids were thrilled!

I’d be so happy if someone who is a better writer would write a few lines here – if you don’t have an account email me the text!

David already posted his video, great footage, thanks David:

Amy’s Video is waiting to be posted, for now you can see it here

Some of my photos (I might get around to reducing that and make a gallery eventually. And then I’ll make a video too…):

The blur in the middle of some of my photos is not a bad camera… it’s sunscreen on my lens.

First San Bruno Posy Parade Flower Crafts

MNS Parent — Thu, 20 May 2010 06:37:55 +0000

On Tuesday, we got together and made craft flowers for the San Bruno Posy parade. Everybody had fun, we got a lot of flowers made, and are ready for even more people at the next event tomorrow.

The Flower crowns require a lot of steps. Olivia and Alyssa got theirs completely finished, Leilani put 4 more flowers on the one she had started at home, and there are a few in progress.

We used a lot of recycled materials – cut up cereal boxes and magazine paper.

We almost forgot to feed the kids… Liselle reminded us and Bigal and Olivia helped her to get the snack ready. Watermelon, veggies and cheese sandwich – Yum!

Thanks for the photos, Maria and Sonja.

Hawaiian Night at MNS

amy — Tue, 18 May 2010 03:22:54 +0000

Millbrae Nursery School celebrated our annual “Family Night” with a Hawaiian “Ohana” theme. Families dressed Hawaiian style, complete with lei’s and grass skirts. Dancers from the Westlake School of Performing Arts treated us to a memorable night of Polynesian entertainment, and a group hula lesson. Millbrae Nursery school would like to give a big “Mahalo” to the dancers for their fabulous show!
