Can you believe we are already in the last month of the school year? Time has flown by since our first week together in August! We have had a wonderful year at preschool, and we are excited about what is still to come in the weeks ahead.

Open House – Friday, May 2nd, MINIMUM DAY 12 NOON DISMISSAL
We are excited to invite you to our Open House at the preschool, which will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This is a drop-in event, so feel free to come by at your convenience and bring the whole family. Each classroom is working hard to prepare for our families’ visits, and we look forward to sharing what’s been happening on our campus.
Additionally, this is a great opportunity to explore our elementary campus, which will be hosting its Open House from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., including an Art Show in the school auditorium featuring work from all our preschoolers. We hope to see everyone there!

Preschool Chapel – Friday, May 9th
For May, our Fruit of the Spirit is Goodness. We will explore what occurred after Christ rose from the tomb and how God sent a special helper, the Holy Spirit, to guide us in following Jesus.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

End of the Year Pizza Parties – Friday, May 23rd & Tuesday, May 27th
We will celebrate the end of the school year with our traditional classroom Pizza Parties. Of course, the preschool will provide pizza, but there will be classroom sign-ups for additional side items such as fruit, paper goods, and table décor. The classrooms will share those sign-ups around the middle of May.

Memorial Day – Monday, May 26th – PRESCHOOL CLOSED
The preschool will be closed to celebrate and remember all the brave men and women who have and continue to uphold and defend our nation here in the United States and around the world. Their service and sacrifice are greatly appreciated and deserve profound recognition and unceasing gratitude. Thank you for your service.

Aloha Days! – Wednesday, May 28th & Thursday, May 29th – MINIMUM DAYS
We felt that aloha was the perfect sentiment for the last two days of our preschool year. So, hello to summer, goodbye to our year together, and of course, I love you.
We invite all the kids to dress in their brightest, most tropical, and Hawaiian best on Wednesday and Thursday. We will also celebrate the conclusion of our year with special photo opportunities at drop-off and much more.

Preschool Promotion for Rooms 1 & 2 – Wednesday, May 28th @ 6PM
This year has been amazing! It is a blessing to watch the children grow, and we are excited to celebrate the students who will be moving on to the next phase of their education, whether here at PCS or beyond.
This year, we will host our traditional promotion ceremony on the main campus in the auditorium from 6 to 7 p.m. The Room 1 & 2 kiddos have been rehearsing some adorable songs and can hardly wait to share them.
Keep your eyes peeled for your invitation, which will include all the details.

Preschool Closed – Friday, May 30th through Friday, June 6th
The preschool will be closed to students for cleaning and summer prep. However, the preschool office will be open to answer questions and assist with any summer paperwork that may still need to be completed before camp begins.

First Day of Fun in the Sun Summer Camp – Monday, June 9th
Our first session of Fun in the Sun: Deep Sea Discovery! and Kinder Camp will kick off on Monday, June 9th. Summers at the preschool are chock-full of good times and new adventures, and we can hardly wait to get started.

Summer Camp Registration
Will you join this year’s Fun in the Sun or Kinder Camp? If so, please submit your registration forms as soon as possible. Spaces are filling up quickly. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the fun at preschool this summer.

Just a friendly reminder of our Preschool Parking Lot Rules/Requests
- Please drive carefully, keeping an eye on speed and kiddos in the lot.
- Children should be directed to stay on the sidewalk during pick-up and drop-off except when accessing their vehicles. Little people are very hard to spot between cars.
- Our lot’s limited spaces make quick drop-offs and pick-ups ideal.
Thanks for helping us keep our little ones safe, healthy, and happy.
