Chapel Offerings
For the month of October we raised $62.00 for Joe Singer, a Marine from Coal City who was wounded in Afghanistan. For the month of November we are going to be collecting money to adopt a preschool age child from Family Care in Braidwood. Family Care is an organization that helps needy families in the area purchase Christmas gifts for their children. What money we collect will be used to purchase gifts for a child to open on Christmas morning. Mrs. Simonelli and Mrs. Williams will go shopping for the gifts in early December and be able to show the students what was bought prior to donating them.
A Few Reminders
We will still be going outside even as the weather turns a little cooler, please have your child bring a sweatshirt or jacket so they aren’t cold! This is very important!
If you haven’t brought in a change of clothes for your child yet, please do that as soon as possible. Accidents can happen! If your child has clothes that are for warmer weather, please change them out. Letters will be going home this week to any child that does not have a change of clothes as a reminder
We will be doing a coat, hat, and mitten drive here at Preschool. It will run from mid November through mid December. If you have any gently used coats, mittens, or hats, please start saving them. More information will be coming home the second week in November.
Tastefully Simple is due November 5th! Thank you for helping our Preschool!
God’s Blessings to you and your family during the Thanksgiving Holiday! Remember to take time out of eating to thank God for all of the amazing gifts He has given to us!
