Weekday School – November News 11/2014

I would like to thank everyone who help make the Pie Sale and the Craft Bazaar a  success. We depend on your kindness and good will to support our mission with the  children. Thank you, thank you, I cannot say it enough. Please know that a child will  benefit from your generosity.

October ended with a bang! The school-age children joined us for our Halloween/Fall celebration. It was the first year they were here all day. It was wonderful. They brought a new dimension to the day.

November will be spent enjoying the weather, preparing for Parent Conferences and the Christmas Gathering  program in December. We will be closed on Thanksgiving and the day after, so we can enjoy the holidays with family.

Mark your calendar for our Christmas Gathering on December 11 at 7:00pm. The children always put on a great  show and make super cookies for refreshments. The school-age children will be making a gingerbread house display and the children will be drawing pictures of what Santa looks like. It will be a fun night. Everyone is welcome!

Do not forget, we are always collecting Labels for Education (Campbell’s Labels) and Box Tops for Education. CAWS will receive a check in December for $318.48 from Box Tops. Believe me that is a lot of box tops labels! Our Labels  for Education has a total of 35150 labels that can be spent on items that they sell. Also, I would like to recognize  Carolyn Parks who takes care of this program for us. She cuts out, counts, sends them in and keep track of our total for us. We appreciate all your hard working and time you spend for us. You are Super!

I hope everyone has a wonderful November and Thanksgiving holiday.

Weekday School – August News 8/14

Summer is over. It has been a busy time. We have been through the transition of the children going back to school. We were sad yet happy, too. We had to say good-bye to children who have been with us and now they have begun their “School Life”. A couple of these children have been with us since they were 2 years old. But on the other hand, we are so happy because we get to meet new children and their families. We welcome all our new families and hope they have a wonderful experience at CAWS. Continue reading

Weekday School November News – 11/13

October is done. We had some beautiful days, didn’t we? The trees are turning brilliant colors. There is a red tree on Lake at the park that I have been watching. The month ended with one of my favorite holidays – Hallow-een. Love to see the children get dressed up. They are just pre-cious and they are so excited. But the holiday is not just for children. We, adults like to dress up, too!

October brought us two annual events: The Pie Sale and the Creative Craft Bazaar. I hope everyone had a chance to order some pies. These are wonderful pies at a good price plus CAWS receives the profits. Also, the pies are easy to take to family gatherings and office parties. The pies will arrive on November 19 and can be picked up from 4:00 – 5:30 just in time for Thanksgiving.

Also, CAWS had it’s 4th Creative Craft Bazaar. It started out slow with the cool temperature and rain but we did better after the weather cleared. I want to thank those who donated baked goods to CAWS. Also, I would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time to make the bazaar a success. We
appreciate your support and thanks does not seem to be enough. We could not have done it without you.

In addition, October gave us – School pictures, Chapel Time on Wednesdays, work done to the playground and Halloween celebrations.

As November begins, we will prepare for Thanksgiving and the pies orders to arrive. We will celebrate Fall, harvest time and the children will learn about everything that pertains to the changing of the seasons. Also, we will have parent confer-ence during the third week of the month to inform parents how their child is doing.

The children and the teachers will begin practicing their songs and finger plays for CAWS’ Annual Christmas Gathering. It will be Thursday, December 12 at 7:00pm. Everyone is invited to hear the children, have cookies and punch afterward, and see Jolly Ol’ Saint Nicholas. Come join the festivities. So mark your calendar.

I hope you have a great month and Thanksgiving.
