K-2 ACE SHE Ninja Warriors Invite
Friday, November 22, 2019 during ACE time (7:45-8:30) your child will be designing an obstacle course for you to go through. Please come and celebrate the end of our Ninja Warrior class this year by participating in their obstacle course. Your child has spent the last month designing and conquering obstacle courses themselves to get ready for this special event.
Due to space and safety concerns, please do not bring siblings to this event. It is for parents and guardians only. You may RSVP to this event and have your ID badge printed and ready for you in the office.
We hope to see you Friday, November 22nd. Come show your kids you are the Ultimate Ninja Warrior.
Thanks,
Jessica Wade and Joy Curl

ACE Babysitters Cluster looking for help
Dear Parents,
The Serene Hills ACE (Across Campus Enrichment) Babysitter’s group is off to a fantastic start. Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students are learning how to care for babies, toddlers, and younger children. We have covered how to keep kids safe, first aid, CPR, feeding, diapering, holding, handling emergency situations, helping kids behave, and how to play/entertain different ages of little ones.
Our babysitter’s are eager and ready for some real life experiences. We would like to use our last meeting on November 22 from 7:45-8:30 to babysit some of our school community’s littlest kiddos. Do you have a baby or toddler (4 months-4yrs old) that you would let them love on? Coach Z and Nurse Bobbi will be present the entire time. It is our hope that our students will be in groups of 2-4 with one little one to watch over. You could drop them off and go for a walk, find a quiet nook to have coffee, or offer a lending hand to another group.
We promise to offer a safe and loving environment for your little one. If you are willing to share your cutie pie, please fill out the form below. We will confirm with you. Spots are limited.
Thanks,
Coach Z and Nurse Bobbi
