Preschool News
November 2025
Dear Preschool Families,
I hope this newsletter finds your family enjoying the change of seasons! The students have been enjoying all the Fall themed instruction! As a reminder, as we are able to be on the playground, please dress your child in clothes appropriate for the weather.
CHAPEL TIME
Our Chapel theme for November is “God Promises to Provide for Usl.” The song for this month is “Big House” by FCC Family. The students and I will be reading the story of “Jesus Teaches on The Mountain.” Students will get a craft to complete at home all about the things God provides for us!
NO SCHOOL NOVEMBER 3 & 4
As a reminder, the school will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, November 3 and 4, for a teacher in-service day and for election day. Teachers will be utilizing Monday to participate in professional development in a wide variety of topics relating to early childhood education. Staff are required to complete 6 hours each year and have already completed at least 3 this year! As Anderson Hills Church is a polling location and a large voter turnout is expected, the preschool will be closed on this election day.
CHRISTMAS OUTREACH PROJECT
In November we will begin collecting gift cards for under-resourced families in our community as we participate in the church’s Christmas Outreach Project. This is an excellent opportunity to teach your child about giving to others in need. We will display a Christmas tree full of gift tags requesting gift cards in the amount of $5-$25. You and your child may take a tag and bring the gift card back to school no later than December 5.
THANKSGIVING SNACK
We will celebrate Thanksgiving with a special snack of turkey and pumpkin muffins on November 21 for the 2-day classes and November 25 for the 3, 4 and 5-day classes. Thank you to Jersey Mike’s on Beechmont for providing us with the turkey and to all the wonderful staff who helped bake the pumpkin muffins! As a reminder, the school will be closed for Thanksgiving break November 26, 27, and 28. Enjoy these special days with family and friends!
FALL ASSESSMENT
Finally, we will be sending home a brief assessment form with your child on their last day of school before the Thanksgiving break. This form outlines your child’s progress for these first few months. We will provide a more in-depth assessment in February.
Blessings,
Katie Connors
Preschool Director
