🍕Pizza Reminder: Our first Pizza Day is this Friday 9/9. $2.00 (per slice) is due in a LABELED ENVELOPE by Thursday, Sept. 8th. 

😃 Picture Day: Friday Sept 9th. We try and go very early in the morning (before snack). You can send a change of clothes if you wish for play afterwards. 

🏫 STS has their Back to School Night on Thurs. Sept 15th. Pre-K does not need to attend since we just had our Orientation which covers our Back to School Info. 

❓ Some questions came up that I didn't thoroughly cover at Orientation.

• Please dress the children for the weather. WE WILL GO OUTSIDE as long as it is not raining or snowing. Above 35 degrees we may just take a brisk walk, but we try and get as much fresh air as possible. LABEL all jackets and sweatshirts. Especially when cold in AM and warm by dismissal time. 
• Please return all your paper work ASAP. Photo Release, Family Emergency Information, TShirt Order etc... All nurses forms can be found under nurses tab on the STS website. 
• Birthday Goodies- In leu of "shared snacks" for birthdays, if you wish, you may send a small goody from the dollar/party store for each classmate. Most families like to label them with your child's name so we know who's birthday we celebrated. Example: a small bottle of bubbles with a label -Happy 5 Club to Mrs. Reed! We have 24 classmates.
• Arts and Crafts- Some of the children were a little disappointed they did not bring home their first craft. They did a beautiful job, but it is part of a surprise gift for the end of the year. Also, I use much of our artwork to decorate our classroom, so you will be able to hang up your apples in October, Pumpkins in December and Christmas items sometime in January. So our classroom will always be decorated beautifully with the children's hard work but,  your home may look a little behind the seasons!
