October 2025

Dear Families,

I have so enjoyed the first month of school. I am working hard to learn names so I can personally greet each student as they come in each day! I loved being able to lead Chapel in September and teach the children about how God protects us! I hope you all enjoyed completing the ten plagues activity together as a family!

Just a reminder that there will be No School on Monday, October 13th.

CHAPEL TIME
This month, the chapel theme will be “God Will Be Our Strength”. Our chapel song will be “I Might Be Small” by All Star Kids Club. We will be reading about the Battle of Jericho and how God strengthened his people to break down the walls. Each student will have an activity based on this that they will be bringing home!

PICTURE DAYS
You will have an opportunity to have your child’s picture taken at school by a professional photographer. The
photographer will take both individual and class photos. Picture days are scheduled for October 8 and 10.
Order forms will be distributed by your child’s teacher.

FAMILY NIGHT
We look forward to seeing you at Family Night October 15 and 16. This is a special evening for the whole
family to learn more about their child’s experiences at preschool. Please plan to join us from 6:30 – 7:30 pm on
Wednesday, October 15 for the 3-day and 5-day classes and 6:30 – 7:30 pm on Thursday, October 16 for the
2-day and 4-day classes.

PUMPKIN PATCH
Our annual Pumpkin Patch, located at the preschool, will take place on Wednesday, October 22 and Friday,
October 24. On these days the children will choose a small pumpkin, enjoy snack and apple juice and hear a
special story.

HALLOWEEN PARTIES AND PARADE
The Halloween parade and parties will take place on October 29 (3 and 4 day classes) and 31 (Toddler, 2 and
5 day classes). The staff and children will dress in Halloween costumes on those dates. Please do not send
your child to school in a costume that is scary (zombies, some monsters, etc) or that includes toy weapons of
any kind. If the weather is nice, the preschool classes will parade around the outside of the building. The
specific route will be communicated via classroom teachers based on construction progression. We will leave
the building at 9:45. If it is raining, an alternate path inside the building will be used. If you signed up to bring
special treats for Halloween parties, please remember to send in a pre-packaged item that does not contain
nut ingredients of any kind.

God Bless,

Katie Connor
