Week 5
We had a great week at PWA, with lots of activities that got kids up and moving and thinking. We also had lots of time outside in the beautiful sunshine and even a few torrential downpours! We celebrated International Dot Day, and enjoyed lots of fun activities–we got some great pics below.
Even though we had a few really warm days this week, the weather is changing and it’s a good idea to pack a sweater in your child’s backpack. It won’t be long before they’ll need one. Preschool parents should update their children’s extra clothes to include layers and long-sleeved shirts.
We’ve had lots of interest in starting up our Parent Teacher Council! You’ll find a bit more information below, and those who’ve expressed a wish to join will hear from Dr. Nykwest early next week with details. The first meeting will be held at the school on September 30th.
As our preschool parents know, we’ve had a few contagious seasonal illnesses going around lately. We are so grateful to all of you who’ve taken our recommended precautions and kept your children home when they aren’t feeling well. We can’t prevent every illness from spreading, even with masks on. But keeping kids home when they’re sick has helped contain the spread of illness here at school, and we know without a doubt that it will help prevent the spread of Covid.
Even if masks don’t stop every germ, they stop a lot of them! Please be sure your child has an extra mask with them in their backpack each day. Also, please remember to mask up yourself at dropoff and pickup. All these precautions will make a difference as we head into cooler weather.
That cooler weather isn’t here yet, though! Enjoy this final weekend of summer, PWA families!
