Happy New Year!!!
Just a few reminders:
The Playground Committee is getting started with the "Playground Improvement Plan!" We are hoping that there will be some work done soon and that the Natural Playscape will soon be completed! If anyone is interested in volunteering their time to help with some of the projects, please let us know.
A child that attends the church has an allergy to peanut butter. Please substitute with almond butter if you are able. If you need to bring peanut butter, please just let us know so that we can remind the kids to wash their hands well after eating it :) Thanks!!!
We provide the children with healthy snacks in the afternoon. We choose organic fruits, vegetables, and crackers whenever possible. We also appreciate learning what your child prefers for snacks- ideas are welcome!
