Families Being Involved ~ October

Today was our first Families Being Involved (FBI) workshop!  We had a fun filled morning of pumpkin carving in the MAES cafeteria.  We had about 25 Pre-K families attend...WOW!  I would like to send out a special "thank you" to Jim and Judy Sorge and Dawn and Mark Wudi for donating the pumpkins for our event!  Here are a few pictures from the workshop.

Naomi and her mom worked together to carve their pumpkin.

Dylan and his mom pulling out the pumpkin guts.

Ayden's family worked together to draw the face and carve their pumpkin.

October 2014

Wow!  I can't believe how fast September has gone by!  The kids are adjusting very nicely to school and we are getting a lot accomplished each day.  I look forward to meeting with each of you for parent/teacher conferences in mid-October.  It is always nice to take time to discuss the progress of the students.  Please look for information in your child's folder regarding our First Families Being Involved workshop, as well as the Halloween parties, which will take place at the end of the month!

Happy October!  :)
