Weekly Update 3-7-10

Dear Families,

We hope that you enjoy a wonderful spring break with your children. We expect everyone to return next week with fresh energy to focus on learning and community.

Please take some time during the break to review and complete your paperwork for RE-ENROLLMENT. It is critical that we receive your WRITTEN DETERMINATION (either to return next year to Dragonfly or not) by TUESDAY, MARCH 16, even if you have let us know verbally of your intentions. If you do not return this paperwork, your deposit becomes forfeit. I have attached the re-enrollment form along with a 2010 tuition contract for your convenience. Thanks to those of you who have already stated your choice!

It is also time to enroll your three or four-year-old for our preschool summer sessions. Spaces are limited and will fill quickly, as we have many new families eager to start attending Dragonfly during the summer. Your tuition contract (attached) and a $200 deposit hold your child’s space.

The recipe for healthy Rice Krispie treats that classes made last week follows:   Mix 1/2 c. peanut butter, 1/2 c. agave nectar (or maple syrup or honey) and
1 tsp vanilla until it’s homogenous.  Add 11/2 to 2c. brown rice krispies.  Pat into a greased 9×9 pan and bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes or until brown around the edges. Cool. Cut and enjoy.

LOST: Navy blue snowpants (plain looking, Gap brand, size 4/5 years). Stella Fried’s name will be on them someplace. Please be sure you did not take them home with you by mistake!


FOUND: Set of four keys with fish-shaped and other beads. Reclaim from the office door.

DATES TO LOOK OUT FOR:

MONDAY, MARCH 8-FRIDAY,MARCH 12-NO SCHOOL. SPRING BREAK

TUESDAY, MARCH 16- RE-ENROLLMENT COMMITMENTS DUE. Thanks for those who have already returned their paperwork. Please do not miss this important date! The use of your deposit to hold your space for next year or to pay your May tuition is contingent on your timeliness. You must decide one way or the other by MARCH 16, or your deposit is forfeit. We have extended this date from March 1 to allow families more time to consider their decisions.

THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 6-8PM-BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING. All are invited to attend. Childcare provided with RSVP to Stephanie.

SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 10-1-EQUINOX GARDEN WORK PARTY (Bad weather reschedule date MARCH 27)-Save the date to come enjoy time in our gardens accomplishing some spring preparation as well as good company and one of the best potlucks around. No experience necessary, just the willingness to participate.We need straw bales to rebuild the compost bins and for mulch. We are hoping that some families will sponsor a bale or two to make it easier for us to get the garden in shape. Each bale costs $5.00. Please let Nancy or Stephanie know, or drop a check in the blue tuition envelope on the office door or your bales at the gate between the garden and the parking lot. If you have your own gloves and/or basic gardening tools, write your name on them and bring them along with a dish to share. Thanks for all that you do!

THURSDAY, MARCH 25-CRAZY HAIR AND HAT DAY
