DATES TO REMEMBER:

are interested in learning more about our school. All of our staff will be on hand to answer questions,
demonstrate materials and show off the classrooms. We will also be taking reservations for next fall.

Feb.1 @ 9:30am in church basement: Young Audience performance "Eth-no-tec". He is an Asian
storyteller who involves the children in his stories. He uses ancient musical flutes and dramatics. We
have had him in past years and he is very entertaining. Families and siblings are invited.
Feb. 2 from 4-7 pm: SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE It's YOUR turn to come and see what your child enjoys
working with in the classroom. Your child will be able to demonstrate and maybe involve you in some way
in his or her day-to-day activities he/she enjoys. This is a night for our CURRENT FAMILIES. You are
welcome to bring grandparents. Your child's teacher may schedule a time for you to come in so the room
won't be so crowded.

Feb. 3: NO SCHOOL Teacher in-service day. The staff will use this day to update materials in their
rooms, perhaps do some repairs, sometimes we even go observe other schools.
