Weather Forecast: HOT
Father’s Day BBQ
Here we are beginning the first month
of summer! The weather is getting hot
and so are we…hot to polish off your
child’s learning, in preparation for next
year. We will be directing our efforts toward helping
your child have fun experiences and develop critical
learning skills. We hope that you will share the
excitement with us by taking time each day to listen
as your child shares his/her experiences with you.
Wednesday, June 17th, is our Father's Day BBQ from
3-5:30 PM. This is a special time to celebrate the
men in our lives. We welcome all dads (or other male
relative or friend) to come and celebrate
with us. If Dad is not able to
attend, we will take a picture of
your child to give to Dad.

With summer now here, we all try to dress to best
survive the hot weather. Clothing and footwear
become skimpier. We ask for your help in keeping
your child injury-free by dressing them in sneakers
or sturdy sandals. Backless sandals and thongs are
particularly hazardous and should not be worn. We
do a lot of running and climbing and your child's feet
need support. Thanks for your help!
There is not enough room in our refrigerator for your
child's lunchbox. We recommend blue ice to keep
your child's lunch cold.
All children can also use the protection of sunscreen.
It's a great idea to make it a part of your morning
dressing routine. For a small fee, we will refresh
your child’s sunscreen after nap.
