Dear Parents,
What a wonderful morning! Thanks to all who came and shared breakfast and exploring Cynthia’s Woods. It is a beautiful property and an outdoor learning environment like no other. I am so glad that the moms had an opportunity to experience it – now you will have a clearer understanding when we take the girls there next year.
The end of the year is quickly approaching and at the bottom is a list of all major events between now and May 31, including field trips, classroom meetings, and full division events. Please take a moment to read over and make notes of those in which your daughter is involved.
General announcements
Form Fathers needed for the 2012 – 2013 school year! We need YOU to help organize events and communicate with the other PYC dads. This is a great way to connect with the other dads and to plan fun events with your daughters. For more information or to volunteers, please contact Parents’ Association co-chairs elect Darren Patton at darren.patton@gmail.com or Ashley Wade at awade@kaq.kendal.org.
The initial PYC playground designs are in the PYC foyer through Tuesday, May 8. Please take a moment to look at them and offer your feedback. Your thoughts are very important and will help to shape the final designs. Thank you for your support and participation!
