CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR
May is “National Teacher Appreciation
Month!” We have designated May 4 -7 as our “Teacher
GRADUATES!
Appreciation Week” here at Half-Time. I want to thank each of our teachers for all of their hard work and
th
th
dedication to our children here at Half-Time. Every day I watch our teachers love your children, laugh with your
children, and provide a great atmosphere for each child to learn and grow. I am very thankful for each teacher
here. Please take a moment to tell your child’s teachers how much you appreciate them!
Spring is in full swing and summer is on its way! The warm weather is a promise of more fun times for the
children outdoors. We are planning on providing fun and educational outdoor learning activities this year.
It is hard to believe that our four year old class will be graduating this month! May is bittersweet as we are
preparing to send many of these boys and girls out to experience kindergarten. Half-Time will not be the same
without them!
As always, if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions about Half-Time, please feel free to stop by or
email me anytime at pbartlett@tcbchurch.org.
I hope you have a blessed May and have many opportunities to make fun memories with your children. Thank
you for entrusting your children to us each day.
Patty Bartlett
Director
