CHRISTMAS CONCERTS AND PARTIES It has been the tradition here at RPNS for the children to sing some holiday songs for their families. The concerts this year will be held on Tuesday, Dec.17 and Wednesday, Dec. 18. All family members are welcome to share in the festivities. Should you be bringing along a child not currently registered at RPNS, kindly let the Director, Paulette, know so she can help Santa’s elves with their lists. All this singing will make us hungry so please sign up on the FOOD LIST posted in the hall and bring in some goodies! Kindly have your child at the nursery school for 9:00 am for pre-concert preparations! Wishing you and your family the happiest of Holidays and all the best in 2014! Merry Christmas, Paulette From Janet and Jenna: Toddler and Jr. Preschool We are all excited about the great months of winter fun we have ahead of us here at R.P.N.S., and we hope you and your children are as well! To help your children get ready for outdoor play, please: · Wear a warm snowsuit · Wear winter boots · Properly fitted mittens with a thumb (no stings these are a choking hazard) and mitten clips · Neck warmers (not scarves, which can be a choking hazard) Junior preschool parents please: · Make sure your child’s indoor shoes are above their name on their cubby rack. Toddler Parents please: · Ensure that your child’s outdoor gear is left in an easy spot for us to find when dressing for outdoor play. Transitions are difficult enough for all of us. Having the correct gear in all the right places, makes for smoother transitions. This month our children will be practicing 3 songs (Jingle Bells, We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a special surprise song!) in preparation for our Christmas Concert! Thank you for labeling your children’s belongings, checking your children’s communication books and logs, and contributing to our Christmas festivities!
