April Newsletter 2019
From the Director....
Welcome to another busy and exciting month at Messiah Lutheran Church Preschool.
On Friday, April 5th we are excited that the Play’N Around Traveling Children’s Company is coming to our school to perform “Rumplestiltskin”. This group has performed at our school in the past and they are great! We are grateful for money raised by our Preschool Fellowship Group’s fundraising events that enables us to bring this wonderful theatre group to our preschool. Parents in Miss Jessica’s and Miss Wendy’s Tuesday/Thursday classes: You and your child are also invited to attend this performance and more information about this will be sent home with your child.
April 17 & 18 will be our class Easter parties. Please watch for a note in your child’s backpack as to how you can help.
On April 22 & 23, our classes will participate in a special nutrition presentation called “I Can Eat A Rainbow”. A nurse from St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital is coming to our school to teach us the importance of a healthy diet.
Tuesday, April 23th we will celebrate Easter with a special Easter chapel. Only the children who attend on those days will participate. Please watch for the invitation in your child’s backpack.
This month the school board will pray for the Wehbe, Wehr, Wilde, Williams, Willien, Delgado, Casey and Dawson Families.
Thank you all for helping to make Messiah Lutheran Preschool such a great place to grow!
Blessings, Joan Brannan
Chapel Offering
This month our chapel offering will be gently used or new children’s books. The books we collect will be given to The Goodwill Book Works Program.
The Book Works Program delivers free books to children in low-income families throughout Tampa Bay. Their mission is to promote a love of reading by giving children an opportunity to choose a book and by providing an engaging story time so children can have a positive and fun experience with reading.
The children are asked to bring this offering only once during the month.
Thank you! We appreciate your support of our monthly chapel offerings.
Service Project
Please join us on April 3rd from 9:00-11:00 to help the children pack personal hygiene items for the Guardian ad Litem-Voices for Children program.
Save Around Coupon Books
Thank you for your participation in purchasing/ selling these coupon books. If you need additional books, please see Miss Joan. Simply return your book if you do not want it.
Arrival and Dismissal
Just a reminder that arrival is from 8:55-9:10 am. Please make every effort to have your child here on time as it makes it difficult for the children to unpack and get ready for the day, and the teachers are delayed in starting class on time.
At dismissal, please buckle your child in as quickly as possible so that we can keep the car line flowing.
Thank you for your help and support to make our arrival and dismissal a smooth process.
