January Recap
Thank you to Mrs. Gianuzzi for the wonderful Chinese New Year Favors!! We all enjoyed them.
Construction still moving along - fence and new basement hatch doors are installed, as well as, the new walkways into the chapel classroom. If this mild winter keeps up we will have the new sod installed before you know it. There are other plans for the future so stay tuned.... Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we go through this process.
The new keypad entry on the main door has been installed. We are now back to using the three classroom doors for drop off and pick up time. During the school day access to the school can only be obtained by using the keypad.
In January Mr. Chris came to teach our children about how a microphone works and how to make a kazoo. Lots of fun was had as they made some beautiful music and some interesting sounds (like sounding like a chipmunk and monster) through the microphone.
2/2 Groundhog Day - Will the groundhog see his shadow?
2/7 Pennies for Pajamas
2/8 Jamming for Juniors - "funky music"
2/14 Valentine's Day Party - The children will be making a delicious pizza lunch and having some homemade desserts. All our children are invited for the morning session. Pick up time will be 11:30am. Also please check the bulletin board of your child's class for the number of Valentine's your child will need to bring for their classmates.
2/20 School Closed - in celebration of President's Day. We will be learning about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln during that week with stories and new colorings.
2/21 Fat Tuesday - we will celebrate Mardi Gras in school
2/22 Jamming for Juniors - "drums"
2/24 Smile 
It's picture day. All children who want their photo taken must attend in the morning session.
Pennies for Pajamas -
If your child would like to wear their pjs to school on Tuesday 2/7 they will be allowed to with a donation of one dollar. These donations will get combined with proceeds from other schools in the Sparta area to purchase warm winter pajamas for homeless children in NJ and NY. This is a voluntary service project so do not feel as though you have to participate if you don't want to. Thank you.
Reminder
Please call school or check the web site's home page for closings due to inclement weather. Please no cell phone use while dropping off and picking up your child. Also please do not allow your child to play with or use the new keypad. Thank you
Happy Birthday!!
