Dear Parents,

We are excited to have our picture day rescheduled for THIS FRIDAY morning! We are putting together an end of year project that we will be using the photos for, so we will be taking photos of everyone for that - including those kids that will arrive in the afternoon (don’t worry! We will clean them up for pictures!).

But before pictures, we have KONA ICE coming this afternoon! We love being able to bring the Kona Ice truck out to CG to give our kids a little treat. In fact, we have already booked a few dates for them to come over the summer. You can see those dates on our Calendar.

Our birthday month is coming to a close… but we have saved our favorite event for last!! There is still time to sign up your kids’ favorite toy for our SPRING STUFFY SLEEPOVER! You can read more about it and sign up in the blog post below.

Speaking of what’s coming up - next week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Our families do a great job of showing our teachers appreciation year round. I get at least one email a week from a family that is looking to bring a treat in or sponsor a lunch or coffee, which has allowed us to do something like that nearly weekly since we re-opened in July! Since we don’t want to over load our teachers bellies, we will be collecting funds, which common ground will match, for an end of the school year bonus for the teachers - similar to the holiday bonus! You can contribute to that fund here or by emailing me (Liz) and I can invoice you for the donation.

We are going to make next week special with something planned everyday.

While it is (mostly!) all fun and games here at Common Ground, your teachers have been hard at work taking classes to learn more about children and continue to provide the quality care you depend on. One of the classes we all went through gave us some amazing tips on healthy eating that we are happy to share with you! See our post below.
