March Newsletter 2020
From the Director....
Welcome to another fun month at Messiah Lutheran Preschool.
SMILE! Picture day is March 3 & 4. We are trying a new photographer (BGG Photography) this year with very reasonable pricing packages for pictures. March 3rd will be Miss Julie and Miss Wendy’s class. March 4th will be Miss Tracy, Miss Jessica and Miss Wendy’s class.
Seal Swim School will be coming to our preschool to present to the children in their classrooms a Swim Safe Little Seals Water Safety Program. Please check the attached calendar to see which day your child will be learning how to be safe around water.
Registration for the 2020-2021 school year continues and we still have openings. Word of mouth, Nextdoor and Facebook posts are the best method of advertising, so please continue to tell your family, neighbors and friends about our school. If someone you refer to our preschool enrolls his or her child in our program, we will thank you for your referral by giving your child $50 to use at Lunch Bunch or Early Care. We greatly appreciate your support and truly believe that Messiah Lutheran Preschool is a great place to grow!
NO SCHOOL, SPRING BREAK: March 16-20th Children will return on Monday, March 23rd.
Thank you for collecting hotel sized shampoo, conditioner, soap and cream bottles for the Guardian ad Litem-Voices for Children service project. The children just finished assembling the hygiene bags. They so joyously assembled over 200 bags. In return for our volunteerism efforts, we are eligible to earn 10 Disney Park passes for our Silent Auction next year.
This month the school board will pray for the following: The Spenceley, Stiber, VanSeenbergen, Vazquez, Rios, and Vo Families.
DISMISSAL: We are very excited that you are all enjoying the playground after school. With this opportunity it brings more walking parents up to the front doors. Please form a line along the building and hold your child’s hand until you reach the playground or front parking lot. With cars moving forward in the carline, we just want to keep everyone safe.
2018-2019 VPK Readiness Rates were posted and we are excited to share with you all that we are an “A” school.
Blessings,
Joan Brannan
Preschool Director

A Message from our School Board
As we near the last quarter of the school year, the School Board would like to thank you for choosing Messiah Lutheran Preschool for your children. We hope that it has been a pleasant experience for your family.
Look for a survey in April. We encourage you to complete the survey and give us suggestions on ways the School could improve. We also would appreciate comments on the positive experiences that you have had.
Always feel free to contact me with your concerns at thetamom@aol.com. Please write Preschool in the subject line.
God bless you.
