Join us for the 10th anniversary of Jumpstart’s Read for the Record®, a global campaign that generates public support for high-quality early learning and highlights the importance of building children’s vocabulary and love for reading. On October 25, 2018 children and adults worldwide will take action by participating in the world’s largest shared reading experience.
Each year, Jumpstart selects one children’s book as the catalyst for Read for the Record. This year’s campaign book will be Maybe Something Beautiful. What good can a splash of color do in a community of gray? As Mira and her neighbors discover, more than you might ever imagine! Based on the true story of the Urban Art Trail in San Diego, California, Maybe Something Beautiful reveals how art can inspire transformation—and how even the smallest artists can accomplish something big. Pick up a paintbrush and join the celebration!
We will have special activities designed around the theme of the book for the children to participate in on this day.
There is no VPK on Friday, October 19th. There will also be no VPK on Tuesday, November 6th and Wednesday, November 21st. All other classes will run as normally scheduled on these days. All full time children are permitted to attend as usual.
We will be having a Costume Parade on Wednesday, October 31st at 10am around center court. Parents are invited to watch the children parade around to Halloween themed music. Parties will follow in each classroom.
Report cards will be going out this month for all classes. See your child’s teacher to sign up for a conference to discuss your child’s progress.
We will be having our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon on Tuesday, November 20th. Orders for the luncheon will be going out shortly.
We will be closed on Monday, November 12th in observance of Veteran’s Day. Teacher’s will be attending Professional Development this day.
