It is very hard for me to believe that the school year is almost over. It has been a wonderful year with many fun positive experiences for the children, parents and staff. I want to personally express my deepest thanks and appreciation to so many people who have helped make this school year so rewarding and my job so much fun.

2010/2011 Forms Due
2010-2011 school year forms are due NOW!! Returning families need to return the family information form, blue card, information and authorization and a current health status. A new immunization is not necessary for returning students. Please remember all medical information MUST BY SIGNED BY THE DOCTOR. If you are waiting for a summer exam please make a note for me as to when to expect that form from you. The more paperwork I can get in before summer the better. In the fall my dream is always to be getting to know children and you, not tracking down paperwork.
Thanks, Laura

How are the Children Award
Beverly Halperin served as the first director of the Preschool from 1994-2000. With children as her passion, Bev believed that our country would be a better place if we adopted an African tradition—no greeting is considered complete until each person has been asked, “How are the Children?” The “How are the Children” award is presented annually by the FUMC Parent Advisory Board to the preschool parent who has perpetuated Bev’s commitment to putting children first. The award will be presented at the slide show.
