Fall FUN Day was so much fun I wish we could do that everyday! Thank you so much to all the volunteers-the day wouldn't have gone so smoothly without all your help! Thanks for all the donations for the Farm Animals to join us and the items we needed for our craft!

Halloween is this Wednesday Oct.31st. Please send the children dressed in costume. Any extra pieces that can wait at home for trick or treating would be appreciated. Any thing that comes in should be labeled. NO WEAPONS or inappropriate costumes. Our party starts at 10:00 and our parade starts at 11:15. Please come and watch our parade and cheer us on! Following the parade we will sing some of our favorite songs we've learned this season.

Please do not take children from the parade line. There will be time for pictures at the end. The children will be dismissed from the front of the building after they have gone back inside for all their things. No carline just meet us on the front lawn. If your child is a full-day child and will be leaving at noon please send a note and please let us know who they are going home with. If it is someone other than mom or dad the adult will need ID with them.

Our lessons this week will be mostly review and Halloween Fun. We will study number 6 at the end of the week and in God's Time we have All Saints Day on Thursday.

Dress Warm:
If it is dry we will be going outside. Once the snow comes  we can not use the playground so we try and get outside as much as possible till winter. Please dress the children very warm. Hats are better then hoods( hoods block our vision when we run). I teach the children to place gloves/mittens in their hats and hats in their coat sleeves. Please practice this at home so they don't loose their warm items.

STS Trunk or Treat(Oct. 26th) is a great night to get some extra use of those Halloween Costumes! Please see the Friday Folder Tab on the St. Therese Website for more info.
