We have so much to do and look forward to in October…
Oh my gosh…we need squash!
Over the first weeks of October, we will collect pumpkins, squash, and gourds of all shapes and sizes in the preschool lobby and create our own Preschool Pumpkin Patch!
If you would like to contribute, every $20 donation counts towards 1 hour of MVP.
After we refresh the preschool on Parent Site Work Day, Saturday, October 12th, we will redistribute all our squash across the campus from the Outdoor Classroom to Rooms 1 through 5 and our toddlers, too.
Thanks for donating! We can’t wait to see how big our Pumpkin Patch will become.
Preschool Chapel – Thursday, October 10th
Our second chapel of the year is here! For our first chapel together, we focused on the Creation Story. We are now moving on to Adam and Eve and discussing the power of choices, consequences, and God’s love.
Parent Site Work Day – Saturday, October 12th
WE NEED YOUR HELP! Parent Site Work Day is just around the corner; don’t miss your chance to help our preschool, build community, and earn MVP hours.
There are two ways to participate in this year’s event.
- Donate materials/supplies.
(CORRECTION: Every $20 spent is worth 1 hr. of MVP.)
- Help at the event. (Psst…volunteering to work at this event is worth double hours. Work 2 and receive 4.
)

The Great ShakeOut – Thursday, October 17th
Once again, the preschool will participate in the Great California ShakeOut. This will be a full earthquake drill involving practicing “Bunnies in the Hole,” aka duck & cover, and a muster onto the main campus for an official headcount.
The preschoolers will muster in our parking lot and then walk over to the big field grass, where we will read books, sing songs, and possibly have a snack before returning to the preschool campus to resume our day.
Teacher In-Service Day – Friday, October 18th – STUDENT FREE
It is time for a teacher in-service day. These days are crucial and provide us the much-needed time for training, planning, preparation, and cleaning that can’t be achieved while the children are on campus. We are grateful for these opportunities to grow and improve all we do in service to the children and families.
Parent-Teacher Conferences – Friday, October 25th
Fall Conferences are here! We will sit down to discuss the kiddos, all we’ve done, and plans for the days ahead. Please use the classroom links below to find your classroom information and sign-ups.
Childcare will be provided for all our current preschoolers and siblings. Please see Mr. Tim or Ms. Kohar if you need an older or younger child to participate in the care during your conference.
Candid Student Photos – Tues., Oct. 22nd & Wed., Oct. 23rd
They’re back! We will again be taking Candid Photos of all the kiddos at the preschool this year. These photos are different from traditional school photos as they are meant to catch the kids in action. Our photographer, Adrea Scheidler, is a PCS mom with many years of experience capturing those adorable preschool smiles. Once photos have been taken, Ms. Adrea will provide families with individual links for viewing and purchasing options.
Apple Pumpkin Days – Wednesday, October 30th – Thursday, October 31st
Our annual tradition of Apple Pumpkin Days is just around the corner. During the last week of October, we will celebrate this year’s harvest season with unique themed books, activities, and treats. Watch for emails from your classroom teachers or Room Parents about how you can help support this fun-filled fall tradition.
