Hi CCP Families,
Conscious Discipline - “Put your children on your ‘to do list’ and spend time enjoying them! Five minutes of focused play each day reduces power struggles by 50%!” (from Preventing Power Struggles", part of the Presenter’s Series)
Supply Fees due - Your 2024-25 supply fees are due by February 15. Of course this pays for supplies throughout the year, but it also serves as your acceptance of the offered spot and holds your place. If your child is in the 2’s and 3’s classes (Frog & Ladybugs), your fee is $225. If your child is in the 4’s classes (Ducks & Whales), your fee is $250.
Scholarships - For families who may need to apply for a 2024-25 scholarship (based on financial need) please email Debbie directly and I’ll send you the application. The scholarship application has a deadline of Monday, April 8. It requires the completed application, your most recent tax return, and a recent pay stub. It is confidential.
Winter Break - CCP will be closed for winter break on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 19 & 20. Teachers, we will have a workday on Tues, Feb. 20.
Valentine Dance - Put on your dancing shoes and let’s boogie! This Friday, Feb. 9 from 6:00-7:30 in the fellowship hall. There will be music, dancing, a funny photo booth, and simple snacks for the whole family. Thanks to our PAC for hosting the dance!
Pancakes & PJ’s - Monday & Tuesday, Feb. 12 & 13. Everyone can wear pj’s to school and we will eat pancakes & fruit around 10:00 as our snack. Thanks to all the parents who volunteered to help.
Since Valentine’s Day is almost here, I want to take a moment to tell you how very much we love and appreciate YOU, our families. We love to partner with you in your child’s preschool education. Thank you for all you do to support us!
Ash Wednesday is also on Feb. 14 this year. There will be “ashes to go” in the morning under the bell tower and a 12:15 service in the sanctuary.
Whoever you believe is in charge of your feelings, you have placed in charge of you. Putting a 3-year-old in charge of your feelings is pretty scary! Take back your power with the language of responsibility: "I'm going to ____" (instead of, "Don't make me _____.") ~Dr. Becky Bailey
Happy Valentine’s Day & I wish you well,
Debbie
