February was a busy month! We had Valentine’s Day parties, a field trip to Morrill Hall, a visit from Dr. Brett Johnson Pediatric Dentistry, P.C., and we celebrated Dr. Seuss’ Birthday, and wrapped up the month with our Muffins with Grandparents!! March looks to be just a busy as we say our goodbye’s to Ms. Magen and welcome Ms. Ashley to our pre-k class.
Please note: Our original plan to have a family event at Ager Indoor Playground on Sunday March 18th has been canceled due to scheduling conflicts. You are instead invited to Westminster Presbyterian for a special performance of Alice in Wonderland on March 18th at 1:00 tickets are $1.00 per person. This performance should be quite a bit of fun for the kids, we hope you can make it!
We have Picture Day coming up on Thursday March 22 and Friday March 23 with Jenny Gegg www.jennygegg.com.
Registration for the summer and fall 2012 sessions are in full swing. If you have not yet registered, please do so soon, our program is filling up and we don’t want you to miss out!
Spring Parent Teacher conferences are April 2, 3, and 4, please take a minute to sign up, or send me an e-mail with the day and time you had in mind. Parent teacher conferences are an important part of our program and allow teachers to share feedback on your child’s growth and development as well as hear your family goals for your child’s education with us.

A muffin with Grandparents was so much fun!! Some grandparents even read to the class. We hope the children and grandparents alike had a great time! A GREAT BIG “Thank You” to all of the Grandparents that read to the children!!!

Truth be told, there’s nothing better than being a grandparent. All our elders know this and it is evidenced by that twinkle in their eyes. Of course, they know more than they let on—life’s secrets have come to them through time, experience and patience.͠ Author Unknown

Valentines Day parties will be held on Monday February 13 and Tuesday February 14. Each child may bring valentines to share with the other children in their class. Please have your child only address the from section of the cards as this will make passing them out easier for the children.

Starting in February we will offer Dance/Tumbling classes held right here at Westminster. The sessions will be on Thursdays and Fridays from 11:45-12:15. The cost is $30.00 per month. Children can stay after an AM session or come early for the PM session, similar to our soccer program. Informational brochures went out last week and more information can be found on the parent table or visit www.dancex3.com
