School Year Kick Off

Greetings parents! It's that time of year again. Stores are buzzing with nervous kids picking out pencils and backpacks, mothers are getting excited about not having a house full of kids tromping around all summer, and fathers are getting ready for a little credit card separation anxiety. Ahh yes...it's back-to-school time. Here at Congdon Creek Preschool we teachers have been busy planning out another exciting year, and we were delighted to meet many of the parents at our parent meeting Thursday, August 30th. For those of you who missed it, here is the general run down of topics that were touched upon:

Clothing:
-Please send an extra pair of clothes to school with your child. This includes extra underwear and socks.
-Each student will be required to have one pair of "school shoes". These are the shoes your child will change into once they arrive at school each morning. Please make sure your child's shoes are appropriate for running and playing. (*Crocs: they're cute...they're comfy...they fall off wiggly, active little feet).

Lunches:
-If your child will be having lunch at preschool, please send a home-packed lunch that includes: protein, fruit, vegetable, and a carb. (For healthy lunch ideas click here.) We do have a refrigerator for the lunches, along with a microwave for heating anything up.
-Milk, juice, and water will be provided.

If you have any questions at all, please email, call, or stop on by!

Our Preschool Open House will be Tuesday, September 4th from 9:00am-11:30am and we will follow out the week focusing on the theme: All About Me.

Have a fantastic Labor Day weekend! Rest...Relax...Soak up some Duluthian sun...because lord knows this summer is (sorry to say) {almost} over!
