October Themes

Our curriculum for this month will center on the season of fall, apples, pumpkins, and of course, the children’s favorite Halloween.

Chapel Time

The children will meet for the first time in the Church for Chapel Time. Pastor Erik will meet with the children on Wednesday the 12^th at 11:30 and 12:30 and Thursday the 13^th at 11:30 he will sing some songs and share a story. At the end of the Month he will come to the classrooms and visit with the children and sing some more fun songs with them.

Tuition

Tuition is due on the first of every month. You will be charged a $10.00 late fee after the 5^th.

Cold and Flu Season

Unfortunately it’s that time of year. Please remember to keep you child home if they are sick. We need to keep our school germ free and keep our teachers healthy.

School Pictures

Brenda Russett of Candid On Campus Photography will be taking class and individual color photos beginning the week of October 17^th.  Look for the schedule outside your child’s classroom.

Parent Interviews

Throughout the weeks of October each class and each teacher has a Parent Interview Day.  This brief, initial conference time is your opportunity to share information about your child.  Check your classroom Parent Boards for date and times.

It's Pumpkin Time

Honey Tree will have its own Pumpkin Patch.  Thanks to all the teachers for making sure 150 pumpkins make it to our Holy Trinity grass!   Each preschooler and kindergartener will “pick” a pumpkin. 

*Parent/2-3 year old classes visit Underwood Family Farms Pumpkin Patch the week of Oct 11th. 

Halloween Parade

We will celebrate Halloween with a costume parade on Thursday Oct. 27^th  for T/Th AM Classes and Monday Oct. 31 for the morning and afternoon pre-school and pre-K Classes, & Kindergarten. Children may wear their costumes to school. The parade will begin at 9:00 A.M. (AM Classes) or at 12:40 P.M.  (Afternoon Classes).  Parents are welcome to take pictures and enjoy the fun.  After the parade parents are encouraged to stay and help take off costumes.  Please have children wear regular school clothes under costumes or bring clothes for changing into.  For safety while walking and parading we ask that there be no Play weapons (guns, knives, swords) or masks.
