A Note from our Sky Class parents Sadie and Megan:
Hello Sky Class parents! We wanted to introduce ourselves as your class parents for this school year. You will likely hear from us several times this year as we organize events in the classroom and for the teachers. These will include a party coming up for Halloween, as well as one at Valentine's Day. We also will organize a voluntary end of year class donation.
There are always ways to help out with the in-class parties. The teachers will be sending out more info. about the Halloween party as the time draws closer, but here are a few details so that you can plan ahead. The general timeline of the party looks like this:
Times:
12:20 Students get dressed in costume (if they choose)
1:00 Parade starts and last 10-15 minutes (parents are welcome to walk in parade as well!)
1:30-1:45 Play done by teachers will start (this is awesome!!)
2:00 Sky class party begins
We will be asking for helpers to bring in snacks, help set up and clean up the day of the party, as well as help get the children ready in costumes and entertain them/read stories while the teachers prep for their *wonderful* play. If you think you will have time during the afternoon of MONDAY OCTOBER 31st, mark it on your calendar, and stay tuned for details!
Looking forward to sharing this year with you!
Sadie Bauer (Theo's Mom) and Megan Highsmith (Mercer's Mom)
