Happy Mothers Day to every mother out there. We acknowledge the special position that you hold in the lives of children.
Thanks to you all (and I mean every single one of you!) for your participation in another amazing Spring Fair. The energy seemed relaxed and happy during the fair; fun and festivities were being enjoyed by all. I saw lots of unfamiliar faces, as well as many who are keeping up with us from the past, alogside our current Dragonfly families. And what amazing weather! I count it as a very successful community event. We’ll tally the final numbers this week, but we know already that we improved on last year’s ticket booth sales by $700 compared to last year. Ticket sales and donations totaled $2600 and change! (Auction totals still to come.) We will be contacting winners of auction items this week to schedule item delivery and payment.
Things are speeding up and winding down at school this month. Please help your child by keeping track of events and by continuing to talk about upcoming transitions. Be sure to talk with your teacher about transitions, too, so that we can support the changes your child will encounter.
Please note that field trips will be noted for your approval on this week’s sign-in sheet. Thank you!
