Dear Parents,
Spring has sprung! With it come increased outdoor time, spring field trips and special events here at Dragonfly. Please remember to sunscreen your child each morning and to keep a bottle of sunscreen at school for re-application later in the day.
Since school will not be in session on the first of April, tuition paid prior to the break would be most appreciated, but will not be considered late if paid on April sixth when we return.
DATES TO LOOK OUT FOR:
SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 11:00-1:00-EQUINOX GARDEN PARTY AND POTLUCK. Come one and all to celebrate spring by planting trees and sharing a meal.
MONDAY, APRIL 23, 3:00- FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE MEETING. FREE CHILDCARE AVAILABLE. We will be focusing on our two big spring events: Rummage Sale on April 18 and Spring Fair on May 9. We are looking for volunteers to help plan and staff these events, as well as people willing to solicit items for the sale and silent auction.
FRIDAY, MARCH 27- FRIDAY,APRIL 3-NO SCHOOL. SPRING BREAK. That’s right; no school on Friday.
MONDAY, APRIL 6- FIRST DAY BACK FROM SPRING BREAK
Happy Spring,

Dear Families,
Find this and other info at our website, www.dragonflyschool.com!
We somehow made it through the first week of daylight saving time. May we all be well-adjusted from now on. As the weather warms, we will be spending more time outdoors. Don’t forget sunscreen, hats and clothing in layers.
Please welcome our newest Seeds students: Sierra Garman and her parents Mark and Shari, and Fiona Browne and her parents Karen and Troy.
Thanks to all of you who have contributed to our Annual Giving Campaign; our donations to date equal $2650! Remember, every contribution counts. As we navigate a challenging fund raising climate, we’d like to remind you that we also have other opportunities to participate. Donations of clean, intact items for our April 18 Rummage Sale will be greatly appreciated along with higher-end merchandise or services to be auctioned off at our Spring Fair in May. We are always thankful for your participation in whatever ways you are able to help. Your time, ideas and energy are a valuable contribution, too!
If you forgot to pay your March tuition or your spring activity fee in the re-enrollment flurry, please drop it by the office this week. Thanks!

Los pollitos dicen “pÃo, pÃo, pÃo”

La gallina busca el maÃz y el trigo,
les da la comida y les presta abrigo.
Bajo sus dos alas acurrucaditos
hasta el otro dÃa duermen los pollitos.
