February at Shepherd’s Flock

The past month at Shepherd's Flock has been very busy! Besides the few snow days we have had, we have been working on several things. We celebrated Valentine's day, learned a lot about Jesus love for us, celebrated our dad's at our annual Dad's Night with our 4 year old friends, talked about the cold weather and penguins, learned about outer space, and most importantly learned a few new bible stories, including Mary and Martha, the widows offering, and the healings of Jesus.
We are so excited to welcome as our new three's teacher, Jessica Powell. And we are also so blessed to have Deona Walsh as her aide. With both these ladies in the classroom, our students are not only learning, but having a wonderful and loving time doing it!
The Month Ahead!

For March we are looking forward to warmer weather... we want to play outside! We are also looking forward to visiting Exploration Station in Bourbonnais on March 7.  March 10 is out first registration round up, where parents and students can visit our facility, meet our staff, and sign up for our summer and fall sessions! This will be from 6 pm to 7 pm and all are invited and encouraged to visit us!  We will have discounted registration fees as well as raffle for a free registration! Spring break for us is at the end of March... and again we are going for spring to come quickly! 

Chapel Offerings

For the month of February and March we are collecting to give to the Community Care Center, also known as the Braidwood Food Pantry.   They have a lot of offerings given to them during the holiday season, but when that season ends they still have needs for food and money to buy food without as much coming in.  We are digging deep in our pockets to help this wonderful organization right in our own neighborhood. 

A Few Reminders

· Scholastic Book orders are due on March 15th.  I am not sure why for the month of February we didn’t have any new book orders come in, but hopefully you can find something in this months for your little one’s Easter Basket! 

· Daylight Savings Time starts on March 9 at 2 am.  Don’t forget to SPRING FORWARD! 

· We hope to see you at our REGISTRATION ROUND-UP!!!! Summer Camps and Fall Registration will be available to you there!
