Mid Summer

In the spirit of life-long learning, I am learning to blog. I think this is a wonderful way to keep in touch with everyone in our school community and improve communication. I would appreciate comments regarding my postings including topics you might like to see explored in this format. I am planning on not just imparting school news through this blog, but also talking about educational topics, great websites for children (and parents) outstanding children's books and other topics of interest to families.

I cannot believe how quickly the summer is going. It is almost the end of July already!
Our summer camp is in full swing. We have been having fun playing in the sprinkler and wading pools, reading stories by some excellent children's authors, doing art projects and for some children, just getting used to a school setting.

We are also offering a special week long camp experience for children in grades 1 through 4 with the theme of Under the Sea. During this week we will explore drama, music, movement, science and special activities all related to the ocean. This program will run Monday through Friday from 9:00 - 2:00 during the week of August 18th. The cost is $150 for all 5 days. Call me for more information (567-0102).

School packets were mailed out last week. Included in the packet are supply lists as well as health forms that need to be filled out by your child's doctor and emergency contact information. Please fill out the forms and get them back to us as soon as possible.

In the continuing spirit of community service which is a Children's Country Day School tradition, I am participating in the Muscular Dystrophy Association's Executive Lock-Up. I will be going behind bars for good (to help raise money for this worthy cause). You can help me out by contributing to my bail by donating to MDA. Give me a call and I will tell you how to help.

Look for furthur postings soon. My goal is to post something at least once a week. I may also include photos and video as I learn more about the process of blogging. I hope you are all enjoying your summer. See you in September!
