Nov 24-25

Dear Sunshine Families, Last week: Family Fun Night was a success, thank you to everyone that helped with the prep work and the clean up. Although I wasn't able to be there I heard it was a fun, festive night. It is so great to be a part of such an awesome preschool community! This week: We only have class Monday and Tuesday this week. The rest of the week we are off for the Thanksgiving holiday. I want to wish everyone a great Thanksgiving; I hope you are able to enjoy time with friends and family. In class we will be making potato turkeys and reading T'was the Night Before Thanksgiving. Bake Sale: The bake sale is this Monday and Tuesday. If you have baked goods to donate bring those to school in the morning. The bake sale will run during school hours and before and after class. Winter Concert: We have begun practicing for our winter concert! This week we will practice in the sanctuary with the other classes. The concert is held in the evening on December 8th. The concert starts at 6:00, but kids need to be dropped off in class at 5:45. You can leave them with us and find a spot to sit upstairs in the sanctuary. We will bring the kids up for the concert and then release them to you after the performance. Mark your calendars because it is a great night! Food Drive: Our annual food drive is under way. This is the last week to get in donations before Thanksgiving but we will also collect for Christmas boxes. We have a blue food box in the hallway that donations can be placed in. The church puts together food boxes to benefit those in our local community. Fundraisers: Fred Meyers gives back to schools! Go to https://www.fredmeyer.com/topic/community-rewards-4 to register your rewards card and give back to Little Acorn Preschool and Kindergarten. Word Wall: We are continuing with the letter "H" this week. Kids can bring anything starting with the letter "H"! Inclement Weather: If the Vancouver School District is closed or has a two hour later start then we will be closed as well. If we are closed for the day I will send out an email as soon as I know and the preschool phone will have a message stating that we are closed. We also use the Remind system, you can get that info from Katie in the office.
