Last email about Dino Park Trip :)

Hello, dear Parents,

There is a second page to the Dino Park invitation that I forgot to mention 🙂 

Here’s the invitation, just in case you missed the second page.

It looks like it will be a wonderfully brisk late morning tomorrow! Wading in the Paluxy might be out unless you wanted to do a Polar Plunge. The event is all outdoors so scarves, hats, mittens/gloves, will probably be appreciated until your children start running and playing with their friends.

We do have quite a large group going to the park; between the meeting, hiking, playing, and sharing lunch, the trip will last probably between 1.5-2 hours. After your children have enjoyed lunch close to the two big dinosaurs, the trip will officially end as a large group. Even though you’ll bring lunch from home, I hope you save room for ice cream and/or pie from Glen Rose 🙂 There is a small list of suggested activities for smaller groups on the second page. It’s a beautiful and fun area–I hope you have an amazing time with your family!

If you love BBQ and are driving back through Belton, I highly recommend stopping at Miller’s Smokehouse. 

Reimbursements for adult tickets are in your child’s lunchbox today. The older children put the money in their lunchboxes themselves so they may have placed it in the smaller front zippered pocket. 

Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you so much,

Rachel

Happy Thanksgiving and Poetry Recital Sign Up

Hello, dear Parents,

Before the holiday, I wanted to send out our Poetry Recital sign up and mention a new event that will occur during and after the recitals: a book swap and bake sale! 

I greatly appreciated all of your support supervising your children on the playground and could tell the children had a wonderful time. We’ll repeat the experience with playtime after/before the recital in conjunction with an outdoor bake sale.

The new special event, however, will be the book swap that will take place on the front benches. This break, you can collect books that your children have loved (or, as I still do with my children and families, books I think they should love) but no longer want or need. You can bring them to the school on 12/10, 12/11, and 12/12 and they will be organized by topic and ready to pick up at the recital! More details will be sent in a separate email the first week of December. 

A reminder that our Thanksgiving holiday will be from 11/24-11/28.

We are grateful for you all and hope you have an amazing and safe Thanksgiving with your friends and families!  

Rachel
