HUMMINGBIRD ROOM PARENT UPDATE!
A few important topics to share!
Hummingbird Fun!
What a great start to the year! We celebrated Ms. Tiffanys birthday, had a playdate at Laguna Gloria and The Culture Fest was a huge hit!
Tiffany received a lovely gift basket with a $50 visa gift certificate, bottle of her favorite libation, chocolates, scented candle….and the most beautiful and thoughtful handmade cards from her students. What more could you ask for! Thank you to everyone for making her birthday special!
There are a few important topics to tell you about: our next playdate and info on the gifting opportunities (there are three for the school year), for our wonderful Athena guides that is fast approaching.REMINDER: This Friday its BYOP! "Bring Your Own Pumpkin" to decorate this Friday 3:00 p.m. Athena Lawn
MARK YOUR CALENDAR - HUMMINGBIRD PLAYDATE!
We are planning the next playdate for Saturday, November 7th at 11:00 a.m.. We’ll meet at Hat Creek at 5902 Bee Cave Road. They have a great playground, yummy burgers and fantastic shakes. There are also adult refreshments and gluten free options available.
GIFTING
Before we move into the fast-moving current of the holiday season, I wanted to give everyone a reminder that the holiday gifting opportunity for teacher and staff is rapidly approaching.
If you’re a new Athenian, (like me!) you’ll be thrilled to know that we have a fantastic system for pooling funds to buy our guides nice gifts for holidays, their birthdays, and at the end of the school year. Yes, that means you can already cross several shopping chores off your list! Of course, this is completely optional; you’re welcome to handle gifts individually or not at all. Our holiday collection will occur in late November/early December. I'll be sending out details on the holiday gift giving process including the collection envelopes and paypal that will be provided to allow for gifting to the Athena support staff.
We will continue to collect for our guides’ birthdays throughout the year. Irene has a Summer birthday so we thought it would be fun to celebrate her half birthday on
February 8th . Mr. Drew's birthday is January 31st.
We’ll have a repeat of the holiday process to raise end of the year gift funds for both P2 guides and support staff.
I have a list of our P5 guides’ “favorites.” I’d be happy to share this list if you’d prefer to gift individually or if you’d just like to get to know them better.
GIFTING HOW TO:
Thank you to those who have gotten a jump on things and already gifted! I am keeping track. I have a Paypal account for easy gifting. Please hit the tab "send to friends and family" and the email is dianajabour8@aol.com. I will also have a special envelope in the main office if you would like to write a check. ... Also..dont forget to reference Hummingbird classroom and the gifting opportunity.
