March 2019
Spring Break is Almost Here!
We will take our first spring break from Monday, March 11 through Friday, March 15. Our second spring break will be Monday, April 1 through Friday, April 5. You may wonder why we take two spring breaks! Our preschool teachers live in both Clarke and Oconee counties, and these school systems take two different spring breaks. We take both spring breaks in order to avoid having so many teachers absent and having so many substitute teachers in our classrooms during those weeks. Safety is our number one priority, and substitutes are not completely familiar with the children and our policies and procedures.
An extra week is already included at the end of the school year to make up for the second spring break. Thank you so much for your understanding of this special circumstance!
Join us at Preschool Summer Camp!
Summer camp is going to be so much fun!
We are offering two weeks of camp:
Let's Take a Trip, May 13-17
The Colors of Jesus, May 20-24
Camps take place Monday through Friday from 8:45 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Camps are $115 per camp, and registration is due on April 15.

Preschool Camp is open to anyone, so please invite your neighbors and friends! We have registration forms at the desk in the preschool galleria area.

The Book Fair is Coming!
We are so excited to host a spring book fair at preschool! Beginning on March 25 and lasting all week, the preschool galleria will be filled with wonderful books for children of all ages! We hope you will stop by and support our fair and get some great new books for your home libraries. Kim Woolbright, our Usborne Books consultant, will be on hand every day to help you with recommendations and information about all of the books!
