This year it seemed every special event the school scheduled had to be rescheduled due to rain. Our End of the Year picnic was Wednesday, May 24th.  Wouldn’t you know Monday and Tuesday of that week were sunny the forecast for Wednesday was rain. This was our last day and we wanted the students to have a wonderful day to remember. Our only alternative was an eat-in at school which wasn’t much of a fanfare send off. I began to pray and asked everyone I knew to pray for good weather. The morning of the 24th rolled around it was over cast but the sun was trying hard to peek through. Long story short God granted us our rain free morning and the picnic was great. Good food, good friends, fresh air and happy kids.
 
     The building is now silent and the students’ voices and laughter are memories. Someone asked me if I was glad to get a break from all that hustle and bustle for the summer. All I could think about was those beautiful students we were sending off to kindergarten to maybe never see again. Our younger students now take the place of the ones that have left. In September we will begin all over again and I can’t wait.
 
     Registration looks good for us this fall. A few of our classes will be full soon. I urge any parent looking for a preschool, not just our preschool, to get their registrations in. It gives you peace of mind to know you have secured a place for your preschool and not on a waiting list.

     It is hard to believe we are already starting our last month for the 2016/17 school year. Are you ready for summer?  Well, hold on because we have a full schedule of fun events for the students again this month!
 
     For the Teachers and myself, there are tinges of sadness for the students we may not see again but joy for the time we have spent with them  Thank you for letting us be a part of this special early learning time you have given your children.  We have enjoyed the experiences of working with each child and watching the growth that has taken place. We hope we have helped to give them a good and positive beginning to their school years to follow.
 
     I would like to extend my heart-felt thanks to all the parents who contributed in so many ways to our program this year. Your caring and participation is what helps to make this a good preschool.   If you are still in the area, we would love for you to stop in from time to time to let us know how things are going with school and family.
 
     For all the students who will be continuing on with us in the fall, we had a wonderful time and can’t wait to see your happy faces in September. We will be mailing out an August newsletter to the returning families with important dates and times for the beginning school year. Please make sure we have your current mailing address.
 
The preschool office is only open part-time during the summer months.  If you need to get in touch with us, leave a message with the Church secretary 252-5311.
 
     We will end this year with a picnic at Shellabarger Park, just a few blocks down the street from the preschool. You will receive an invitation with all the necessary information you need. Please mark your calendar for May 24th we would love to have the whole family join us for this special occasion
 
     Our Charity Trike-a-Thon goes to benefit needy causes.  Please give generously remember they are non-profit and survive on donations.

Early Beginners
     April showers bring May flowers.  Our class is enjoying the warm weather and watching things bloom outside.
 
     This month we will be learning about our favorite summer time things: swimming safety, underwater sea animals, and things to find on the beach.  We will also be finishing up our alphabet letters with crafts x, y and z.
 
     Please watch for information to come home about Mother’s Day Snack and the Trike-a-Thon, the last day of school and the End of Year picnic.
 
Last but not least, a warm “thank you” for sharing your children with us. It has been wonderful getting to know them and has made our time at Spin-Kemp a true blessing. Have a safe and wonderful summer.
 
Don’t forget if your child is returning this fall register for the Middlers early.
 
Many Warm Blessings,
Mrs. Johnson and Miss Schroder
 
MIDDLERS
     Here we are our last month of the school year. May is going to go by so fast and we have it packed with so much fun. We will send home extra copies of sheets we completed over the school year. Please make it fun for your child as they work on them over the summer.
     As a reminder we encourage each child to practice their cutting and gluing skills. Cutting stiff paper is a good idea as next year rolls around they will be doing much of this on their own.  Writing their name is very important this will need some extra practice – upper and lower case letters are used. Any questions please ask.
     We strongly recommend if you have not filled out a continuation form for fall you do so before school is out. Mrs. Butcher and Mrs. Bange’s class fills up quickly. Registration is your only assurance of getting in this fall. Please don’t wait you could lose out.
     We wish all the best to those families moving out of the area or not returning to Spin-Kemp.  We have enjoyed each one of you and you will be missed!  Parents a big thank you for everything, we do appreciate all you have shared with our school.
Have a safe and fun summer.
Love, love, love that’s what it’s all about,
Mrs. Karmele and Mrs. Wolodkiewicz
 
PRE-KINDERGARTEN
       Wow! Can you believe the end of the school year is almost here?  Summer fun is upon us so we can spend time with our friends, family and have special days only summer can bring.  Have a wonderful summer break.
 
       Our classroom has been busy this year with new adventures and learning.  What a great learning year we have had.  I suggest you shop around for some workbooks for kindergarteners to keep the learning going through the summer.  Last days of school will be May 23rd with our end of the year picnic May 25th. Check the tote bags for information on all the end of the year activities.
 
       It is always hard to say good-bye. It has been wonderful working with all of you and we only wish the best for you and your children.  We are looking forward to hearing news about their future growth and accomplishments.
 
       A special” thank you” goes out to all the parents who helped this year with their time, donations, healthy snacks and encouragement.  You are a special group of parents and our prayers are with you as you raise these wonderful children God has put in your care.
 
 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and even when he is old, will not depart from it.”   God Bless
 Serving Our Lord
Mrs. Butcher and Mrs. Bange
 
I know some of you have told your teachers that your child will be returning for the fall. It would be advisable to send in a continuation form before we close for the summer. The
Pre-K class was full this year and we had to turn students away. We honor registrations as we get them. If you wait to late, sorry to say being alumni does not assure you a spot without registering. Your teachers have
continuation forms just ask for one
                                                   
ALL TUITIONS MUST BE PAID IN FULL NO LATER THAN MAY 5TH FOR YOUR CHILD TO REMAIN IN PRESCHOOL FOR THE REST OF THE MONTH.
