March 18, 2015 Dear Parents, It’s difficult to believe that it is almost Spring Break! For those of you traveling, have a safe and joyful vacation. Even more difficult to believe is that when we come back, we will be hosting our Easter parties. We have been busy transforming those milk jugs into beautiful Easter baskets. If you are able, we would love for you to come hear us sing our Easter songs at 11:15 on Wednesday, April 1st – the day of the Easter Party. Remember there is no school or day care on Good Friday, April 3rd. DCFS and the Il Department of Health now require us to provide a Vision and Hearing Screening at the preschool. Former public school nurses will be conducting these tests on Thursday, April 10th and Friday, April 11th during your child’s class period. This screening will be done in our block room. Mark your calendars…Make St. Mark Preschool the ‘COOLEST SCHOOL’ by going to Capannari’s on April 20th between 3:00pm and 9:00pm. This simple fundraiser allows us to receive 10% of Capannari’s sales for the day. Buy ice cream to enjoy now and gift certificates to enjoy throughout Spring and Summer!!! What a way to enjoy the season! Preschool Sunday will take place on Sunday, April 26th at the 10:00 service. The preschool families are invited to attend the church service and the children will be singing some of our preschool songs. During the service, the children are invited to attend children’s chapel. Afterward, our Preschool Board will provide treats for the congregation and the preschool families. Please plan on attending this event. A sign-up sheet will be posted near the entrance of the school after Easter. Don’t forget to order Art to Remember. Order forms are due this Friday, March 20th. Sample items are on display by the sign-in sheets. The items will be shipped by the end of April and will make beautiful Mother’s and Father’s Day gifts. St. Mark Preschool would love for you and your family to “LIKE” us on FACEBOOK. We have been posting the most adorable pictures. Check out the website too….www.stmarkpreschoolcares.org! Thank you for your support of the preschool! Sincerely, Barb Zediker
