May 7 Annual Budget Referendum Please Vote
Dear Laurel, April was a busy month. We had a very informative presentation at THS called Teens Alcohol Drugs and Truths. I have information available if anyone is interested. Our Family Literacy Night was a wonderful success. Thanks to all of our special guests including Fancy Nancy , Virginia Brousseau the Tolland Children's Librarian, and our special READ dog guests. The children enjoyed reading to these specially trained animals! We have had our share of trauma in our world this year. If you or your child need some resources or guidance during difficult times, please let us know. We have a library of materials and references to help that we are willing to share. We have information on all stages of development and are always willing to listen! Thank you all very much for your continued cooperation and patience with the door and buzzer system. We continue to ask you to use the FRC side door from 7:00-8:00 am and from 4:30-5:45 pm. When you buzz please state your name and who you are coming to drop off or pick up. From 8:00-8:50 am and 3:00-4:30 pm please use the door by the cafeteria. The buzzer is heard in the office. We ask you NOT to hold the door open for others. We DO NOT want to discourage kindness and manners, but we want to monitor who is entering the building. So if someone is coming, please have them announce their name before entering the building. We thank you for your cooperation. How wonderful it is to hear the birds chirping, feel the sun shining and watch the buds pop on the trees and in the gardens. It is almost as exciting as having watched our FRC children blossom and grow through the year. We have much excitement to share as we enter the last leg of our school year. Please have your child dress appropriately for outdoor play. Our goal is to get all the children in our programs outside everyday the weather cooperates. Please do not send them into school with strapless sandals, flip-flops or high heels! It is best to send them in with shoes that cover their toes and have sturdy soles. Have them wear shoes that can help them run fast! Remember it is windy on the playground so a jacket is

SCHOOL AGED CARE ~ WE ARE GROWING! In Kindergarten they will be talking about farms and farming. They will learn about seeds and gardening and will grow their own garden! Gardening is a great skill to share with your children. It encourages patience, care, commitment and reaps pleasure! After School K-1 Friends will be exploring and looking for fun facts about Tolland looking back in time to discover what had happened in Tolland's past. If you have any fun facts to share please send us an email to let us know! It is fun for the kids to get their families involved! They will map and keep track of the facts they learn about the town they live and play in. Our older BGP kiddos will also be focusing on planting AND recycling. They have already begun planting in a recycled shelf!! If anyone has any plywood or bluebird house building supplies they would be gladly accepted and recycled for good use!
