Weekly Update
November 20-December 1
Upcoming Events
There are two special events coming up that we will need faculty support for.
Polar Express Night is a family night geared for preschool (including PK) and lower elementary students. All students will be invited (registration forms will go home this Friday), but the event will be held in the preschool building. If you are able to work this event, you would be in charge of a craft or activity in one of the Polar Express rooms/scenes. All teachers working this event will be paid their normal hourly rate (overtime pay if it puts you at more than 40 hours). This event will be held Friday, December 8 from 7:00-8:30 pm; teachers would need to be here 6:30-9:00 pm.
Parents' Night Out is a night for students to stay here after hours while their parents enjoy an evening out. Teachers working this event would be in charge of a group of students or a craft or activity. Again, teachers will be paid their normal hourly rate (overtime pay if it puts you at more than 40 hours). This event is Friday, December 15 from 6:45-10:00 pm; teachers will need to be here just that time block.
If you are interested in working one or both of these events, please let Amanda know. Spaces will be filled on a first come-first served basis. Thanks for your support of our school!
