Day Care News April 2015
I think I am speaking for everyone when Isay, "Bring on Spring!" This teasing of nicerweather, only to wake up to snow twoweeks later, is not my idea of fun. Boy I amgetting old! When I saw some of my olderalumni students at our Panera Breadfundraiser on March 16, I really felt old. Iwould like to thank Pastor, Denise Bowles,Linda Silence, Kay Baumann and Sarah,Janine and Hallie Bowles, Craig and CarolAarseth, Dan, Courtney and Logan Rackowwith Lauren King, the Genova family, GinaMolinet, Stephanie Ragusa and family,Nicole Jaeggli, Stephanie Pissi, the Lerchfamily, the Tarasco family, my husband, andanyone I may have missed for attending thefundraiser. Good food and wonderfulcompany made for an enjoyable way tospend an evening.
Our month began with a music andmovement class with Dr. Pinto. SeafordLibrary has been visiting us each week todo Story Hour. We have learned aboutrainbows, animals, and fish. We did Yogawith Miss Chris. We have so much fun inher Yogie/Yogurt class, as the kids call it! At Chapel Pastor told us a story about PalmSunday, the Last Supper, and Holy Week. We received Palms to take home.
On St. Patrick's Day a leprechaun visitedus, and he played many tricks. We enjoyedtrying to catch him in the act. He left usgoodies to have a party. The day was veryexciting!
Then we celebrated Easter by coloringeggs, making crosses and of course, havinga party! The holidays were so closetogether this year
Hopefully we will be blessed with somewarmer weather in time to celebrate Easter.
May your Easter basket be full of joy,happiness, and peace today and always.Happy Easter!

Nursery School News April 2016
Spring has arrived on the calendar but weare still anxiously awaiting the warmerweather of this season. When Easterarrives early on the calendar, it is a recipefor much activity here at Our RedeemerNursery School. Children were treated tolots of learning fun all at the same time asSt. Patrick’s Day, spring and Easter allcoincided! We certainly were busy“bunnies” during the month of March. Theannual visit from the leprechaun sparkedmuch excitement throughout the building.He left behind messy classrooms and lotsof gold coins to hunt for.
At chapel with Pastor on March 16 & 17, wehad a visit from Hector the Donkey andpalms were distributed. Pastor shared thestory of Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem aswell as the Last Supper. Children celebrated the miracle of Jesus’Resurrection and enjoyed our annual Easteregg hunt as a symbol of the new life andhope that this holy day represents. Theschool will be closed March 24-March 28 forEaster recess.
When we return, the color of the month forApril is purple. On April 7 & 8, we will enjoyTeddy Bear Pajama Day. The children willalso plant seeds this month to sprout in timefor Mother’s Day! They will discover the lifecycle of the plant. In April, our little oneswill also be creating sweet gifts andpracticing special songs in honor of Mom,Grandma or another special lady in theirlives.
