Busy November


November is a busy month at Pre School.  The first week of November we will learn about our wonderful state of Minnesota.  We are thankful for summer memories of the days at the beach and cheering for the Minnesota Twins.  As we watch the ducks and loons (Minnesota's state bird) fly south for the winter, we look forward to sledding, skating and other Minnesota winter pass times.
Week two focuses on music as a theme: loud and soft, fast and slow, high and low, rhythm and rhyme.  We'll move to the beat!  It is only fitting that this will be the week of our Fall Program.  The students in our Blue, Purple, Red and Yellow Classes (4-5 year olds) will present a musical program Thursday, November 13, at 7:00 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.  Family and friends are invited to join us for the program and refreshments to follow.
November closes with Thanksgiving.  As we look back at our beginnings and the road our country has taken, we are thankful for our families, our homes, good food, the right to vote for our leaders, and the freedom to respectfully disagree.  We are especially thankful for the right to worship God as we please, for He is the source of all our blessings.  The children will celebrate by sharing in our annual Thanksgiving Feast of individual pizzas, milk, and pumpkin bars.  So much for turkey!

The program was fantastic and it's a testimony to your staff that the fellowship hall in the upstairs of your building is overflowing with "standing room only" year after year! Thank you for all the hard work you put into the programs. The kids love being in them, and the adults love watching the kids! My older daughter began to cry when they did the Walter the Waltzing Worm song: she remembered how much fun she had at Salem when she was in preschool. After the program, she told her little brother that he'd better enjoy Mrs. Shelly and Mrs. Forestell now, "Because when you get to grade school, it's not just fun and games for learning :)," she said.

Don't forget to mention that you're offering the DVD's to parents from that night for $5.

Thanks again!
