Our days this autumn have been so delightful. Our preschool is full of bright children and enthusiastic teachers.
During this season we have spent time enjoying the crisp, cool outdoors and learning about apples, seeds, and pumpkins. At the end of October we had a special Fall Festival with Trunk or Treat and yard games. The staff and children were invited to dress up in fun and silly costumes. Many family members came to help set up and facilitate the activities for the day. One parent even brought a fire truck for the children to experience!
As we enter November we are spending time this week having Parent/Teacher Conferences, meeting with families to discuss student progress and goals for the year. It's always nice to connect with parents and foster those healthy relationships.
Looking ahead, we have our Tree Lighting scheduled for November 28th. Children will be working on making ornaments to hang and staff and families will help organize stings of light for the huge tree by the playground. It's likely we will have some help from the guys at DMEA again this year.
It's hard to believe how fast the year is going and that the holidays are just around the corner. We've already done very well with our annual Christmas wreath fundraiser. We expect orders to arrive the last week of November/first week of December. I'll be sure to call you when it's time to pick up your special item.
Thank you to many of our church families who continue to support our school.
We look forward to the approaching Advent season and a time to celebrate the birth of our Savior. We continue to praise Him for his great care and provision over these many years. With excitement we look forward to the many ways God will continue to bless us as we serve Him. Our prayer is that He would help each of us to grow in knowledge and in grace, becoming more and more like Him.
Thank you all for your love, support, and encouragement. We wouldn't have Sonshine Patch without you!
In His Name,
Daisy Chell
