Dear Parents,

We are so amazed by the generosity of our community in response to the THANKSGIVING BOXES! We are just 4 x $25 gift cards and 5 full boxes short of our pledge of 20 Boxes! There is still time to sign up and help us complete our pledge! LJ will be dropping the boxes in the morning on Friday. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0f4faca723abff2-thanksgiving

I spy our classrooms…

We missed the original airing of the PBS special on childcare that we loaned out center out for, but found it on youtube!

We are so glad to be a part of bringing attention to this very important issue!

Teacher Bonus Pledges

Thank you for signing up to pledge funds for our Teacher Holiday Gifts and Bonus Pool! We really appreciate your generosity and thank you for making the donations in 2022, so that we can maximize the pandemic funding that we are eligible for!

You can read the letter from the board and sign up to make your pledge here: https://www.commongroundchildcare.org/teacher-bonus-fund

You know us, we love to plan!

If you’re planning on missing some time here at Common Ground over the winter months, please let us know so that we can work to allow our staff to take some time off as well!

You can sign up for that here: https://www.commongroundchildcare.org/blog-1/2021/11/16/winter-holiday-vacation-planning

Have you been reading our blog?

We have a lot of great information about Conscious Discipline and Curriculum! We are in the infancy of implementing Conscious Discipline in our center and after the new year will be inviting our families to participate in the same training our staff have completed!

Hot Chocolate, Play Dates, and Saturday Hours!

Our first Common Ground Play Date was a success this past Saturday! We plan on hosting more get togethers for our families as the year goes on. But for now, make sure that you sign up for Saturday Shopping Hours: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0f4faca723abff2-saturday

Stuffy Sleepover and Book Fair

We have two FUNdraising events coming up! First, we have our annual Stuffy Sleepover! Make sure to sign your stuffy up for all the fun. We will be dropping off Stuffys after the sleepover and will send out the route so that you can be there to see the Common Ground Bus!

Then, on deck in December we have our next Scholastic Book Fair, since we all know that books are one of the 4 gifts to get a child - something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.

Thank you again for reading our newsletter and being a part of our community!

Love,

The CG Team
