Dear CCP Families,
Happy Spring! Next week is a big week! I have several reminders for you…
TEACHER APPRECIATION - We will celebrate our incredible teachers/safekeepers NEXT WEEK! Your class parent rep will send you more information. Please respond to your rep. Let’s really show our safekeepers our love, respect, and appreciation!
SPRING MUSIC PROGRAMS - Wed & Thurs, March 26 & 27 right after drop-off in Ascension Hall. MW(F) classes and Whales will sing on Wednesday. TTH classes and Ducks will sing on Thursday. There will be refreshments for adults. Plan on about 20-30 minutes
SCHOOL SPIRIT - On Tuesday, March 25, let’s wear our school shirts or class color. Also plan to have lunch or dinner at Als’ Burgers. Tell them you want to support CCP when you order. They will donate a portion of their proceeds that day to CCP! Dine in, Take out, and Gift cards are eligible!! (MW(F) classes, wear your CCP shirts on Wednesday!)
SHOES - The safest shoes for preschool are sneakers. If you choose sandals, please choose the ones with protection over the toes and rubber soles. Flip flops are not a good choice for preschool. Please encourage your child to wear safe shoes at preschool.
PHOTOS - Please mark your April calendar for photo days -
Wed, April 16 the Ducks and MW(F) classes will have photos made during the school day.
Thurs, April 17 the Whales and TTH classes will have photos made during the school day.
Our photographers will be from Photo Specialties and will take pics outside. There will be individual pictures and a class photo.
Lilian Katz, writing in the book Developing People (part of the Art of Leadership series), notes:
"We must come to see that the welfare of our children and grandchildren is intimately linked to the welfare of all other people’s children. After all, when one of our children needs life-changing surgery, someone else’s child will perform it. If one of our children is threatened or harmed by violence, someone else’s child will be responsible for the violent act. The good life for our own children can only be secured if a good life is also secured for all other people’s children. Where are other people’s children right now? Are they having wholesome, caring, and appropriate experiences? The person who will be our president 60 years from now may be in someone’s three-year-old class today. I hope she’s having a good experience! To be concerned about other people’s children is not just a practical matter — it is a moral and ethical one."
And from Dr. Becky Bailey…..Whoever you believe is in charge of your feelings, you have placed in charge of you. Putting a 3-year-old in charge of your feelings is pretty scary! Take back your power with the language of responsibility: "I'm going to ____" (instead of, "Don't make me _____.")
Wishing you well,
Debbie
