Greeting All!
February flew by! Thanks to everyone who participated in the Book Fair.
We made over $1,000.00 - that is $500.00 in free educational materials for the
school. That is AWESOME!! There are a few items left over for sale in the front
foyer- see Ronnie or Stacey if you are interested in purchasing any of the items.
Special thanks to the Book Fair Day volunteers, Liz and Celia Basso, Riley Close,
Caroline and Gabriella Crean and Jenna Marteka!
Thanks to everyone who made February Vacation such a blast! The teachers
really busted their chops and the kids loved it. Be sure to check out the pictures.
Beach Day was hilarious. Miranda thought she was supposed to do the activities
outside in her bathing suit. Unfortunately Eric set her straight. Cooking Day was a
huge success thanks to our line cooks. Star Wars Day will certainly go down in
history as a favorite. My favorite battle was Yoda (me) vs. Darth Vader (Eric)! He
was a better swordsman but my Yoda babble wore him to the point where he
jabbed himself with his light saber. R.J. Stanford was hands down best at battle. He
dominated even the older kids who rendered helpless by laughter. We have
awesome video footage of re-enactment scenes that are priceless. Watch the main
door for show times next week!
There are two half days for the public schools on Tuesday, March 24th and
Thursday the 26th for parent teacher conferences. If your child attends the after
school session you are automatically signed up to come those days. If you do not
need us on those days, please let us know this week. **UPCOMING

impacted by the numbers for attendance. So please let us know your plans. Please
note that April Vacation starts on Thursday April 9th.
Preschool sessions will not run on Thursday April 9th (teacher workshops) and
Friday April 10th (Good Friday).
**OUTDOORS**
Please know that we go outside everyday that we can. It is muddy so please
do not forget to send in boots. Also be sure that you have an extra se1 of clothes for
preschool and Kindergarten. They tend to wobble more and land on the wet
ground.
Congrats to the Star Wars trivia challenge winners (The Battit family, The
Bochan Family, and The Marchi Family) they are BIG STAR WARS NERDS.
They got all of the answers right on the Star Wars trivia challenge. For being such
devoted fans they each won $10.00 off of their first April bill!! The force is with
them!
Check your closets!! We are on the look out for clothes to boost our dress up
areas. We love sequin dresses, high heels, ties, jewelry and scarves If you clean out
your closets please keep us in mind.
The Early Childhood Education Council is considering topics and times for
parent trainings. So far folks have requested workshops on: # 1. Milestones for
young children (3 and up) #2. Discipline tactics
#3. What rights and expectations should parents have for their children's education
in East Hampton?
Feedback so far indicates the best time is early weeknights with childcare and food.
Your input on this would be greatly appreciated.
**Conferences**
4 year old preschool conferences are being scheduled so please Mrs. Joyce to
schedule a time. Please know that conferences are available by request for all
other sessions. Just let us know if you are interested in one.
How are we doing? Please give us feedback on our programs and operations. We
are constantly looking at ways to improve our services. Thanks and have a great
month!
Ronnie
