Director's Dispatch
Dear Preschool Families,
It has been so fun and joy-filled spending time with your children as we enjoy their excitement and anticipation during this most magical season of Christmas. We have had so much fun together sharing Christmas stories, making ornaments and cards, exploring our Christmas sensory bins and nativity sets, and singing Christmas songs - new and old. Although it has been a difficult year for many, my sincere hope is that during this time of faith and family, the true meaning of Christmas will fill your hearts with His love and perfect peace.
Christmas Blessings,
Ms. Linda

Teacher Feature: Ms. Sarah
Our family of four moved to the Carolinas from Michigan 10 years ago. The warm weather suits me just fine. In fact, summer is my absolute favorite season. My husband and I have two girls, Katherine is 15 (Catawba Ridge - sophomore) and Elizabeth Grace is 6 (River Trails - First Grade). We love taking trips to the beach and to the mountains. Gardening and planting flowers give me such great pleasure. l enjoy nothing more than filling up the back of my vehicle in the spring with beautiful annuals.
I cherish spending time with my family. Especially with how rushed we all are nowadays. To me, time is one of the most important things you can give your loved ones. Both of my girls love to play golf, so I spend lots of time on the course! I also enjoy cooking and being in the kitchen with my husband. We make a great team when it comes to food.
I love “Oldies” music...60’s and 70’s. Anything from the Beatles and the Stones, to CCR, Bob Seger, and Rod Stewart...I could go on and on! Being from Detroit, Motown music has a special place in my heart too.
I really enjoy reading when time lends itself and I have read many good books. One that stands out, in particular, is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. I thoroughly enjoy reading or watching period pieces. My favorite series though is Harry Potter. J. K. Rowling has an amazing imagination! Speaking of Harry Potter, I have an 8-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi named “Potter” who I absolutely love and adore!
That pretty much sums it up for me, other than being a part of such a special preschool community and playing such a tremendous role in the lives of our precious children. There’s no doubt in my mind that God led me to Unity Presbyterian for a reason when I enrolled my youngest daughter in the program three years ago.
