Parents Corner
We will be having our Halloween Parties this month! Please send your child IN their costume with their clothes underneath. If they get uncomfortable we can easily get them changed. We can’t wait to see all the children in their outfits! Don’t forget to consider mobility. We will be walking over to the big school for classroom parades and going up and down steps. This is A LOT of walking and A LOT of steps!! Princess shoes and pirate boots look charming, but it might be better to save those for your neighborhood trick or treat! Please DO NOT send backpacks on party days. It’s just one less thing to worry about.
The Batesville Fire Station Field trip takes place during October for Fire Safety Month. The kids LOVE it. Any parent is welcome. You are welcome to come with your child to school or meet us to walk over at 8:20ish for M/W/F am and 12:20ish for M/W/F pm and 8:50ish for Tues/Thurs.

God In Our Lives
We will talk about St. Francis and visit his statue over at St. Louis Church. I have a short video that does a great job of explaining all the beautiful things St. Francis embraced. The Tues/Thursday will class learn about Daniel and the Lions Den and the PreK children will hear the story of David and Goliath . For letter Gg week the PreK children will visit Mary’s Grotto and make a replica. (It is so cute!) There are many grottos in yards here in Batesville. Try and point them out to your children.
The children’s morning, snack, and ending prayers are going so well. They say them loud and proud! We've incorporated some sign language into the Lord's Prayer for the Prek children and it is just really lovely.

We’ll have Fruit Snacks and GoldFish crackers for snack during this week. We are going to ask you to send a piece of your child’s favorite fresh fruit for snack on 10/19 and 10/20. Examples might be a small bag of grapes, a banana, or apple slices. Whatever you send it should be ready to eat! We will talk about what everyone brought and they LOVE telling us about their favorites. Enjoy little song we will learn that you won't be able to get out of your head. I apologize a head of time!
St. Louis Preschool Parties
All of our SLP parties really follow the same principle. Parents should come into the class and have fun! All you have to do is come with your child at drop off and be prepared to stay for the entire class time. We will have everything ready, and I will give you a quick run through of what your "job" will entail. It is a wonderful opportunity to see your child with their peers! If for some reason you are unable to attend, please let me know as soon as possible and we'll find someone.
