Director's Newsletter March 2019

Dear Northminster Parents and Friends:

We are transitioning from the month of Love and Sea Life to spring and that cute little green man who comes to visit.  

The Parent Group meeting will be Friday, March 8, 2019 at noon.  We would love for you to come and see how you can be a part of Northminster Preschool’s Parent Group for next year.  Free lunch bunch for your child enrolled if you attend the meeting!

The preschool will be closed, Monday, March 11th for a professional growth day.  We will be re-certifying the entire staff in First-Aid.  Please make a note that this date changed from the calendar handed out at the beginning of the school year due to a schedule conflict with our trainer.

We will have Irish Dancer’s visiting on March 14th and March 15th, 2019 at 10:30 a.m. in Congdon Hall for our March enrichment program.  This program is courtesy of the parent group fundraising. Parents are welcome to attend!

On Tuesday, March 5th we will be having a dine and donate at Souplantation.  It is an all day event. We will hand out and email flyers the week before. This is a simple way to help out Northminster Preschool.

Chapel with Pastor Jay will be Tuesday, March 5th and Wednesday March 6th in the sanctuary at 9:30 a.m.  Parents are welcome to attend!

Also, a reminder that spring break starts on Monday, March 25th and runs through March 29th with school re-opening on Monday, April 1st at 7:30 a.m.  

Our Mixed Bag Fundraiser starts Monday, March 4th. Last year we were able to raise over $2,000 for our outside bathroom remodel fund.  Please feel free to ask family and friends to participate in this fundraiser. Mixed Bags stands by all the products they sell. There will be a way for family and friends to participate on line if they live out of town.  Orders will be due in the office by Tuesday, March 19th.
