Dearest Merryhill families,
Get ready for a “spook-tacular” month!
Lifetouch pictures are still here in the preschool office. We will keep them until Monday, October 9th, and then we will send them back to Lifetouch. Come to the preschool office to view your child’s portraits before it is too late!
Halloween fun is here and I wanted to inform you of the special events we have here at Merryhill Preschool during this time of year. We have planned fun activities for Halloween. First, we will have our annual Pumpkin Patch in our playground on October 20th at 9:00 am. Each child will be able to pick their very own pumpkin to take home. The school provides this and there is no extra cost for the parents. The most exciting event that we will have is the Halloween parade. Here at Merryhill Preschool in San Jose we make our own costumes. We design and craft them here at the school with the help of the children and teachers. You will not need to bring your child in their “store bought” costume on Halloween Day. Each year the teachers think of the most amazing costumes and the children are absolutely adorable. Please do not miss out on this fun event! It is one of the best events of the school year! The Halloween Parade is on Tuesday, October 31st at 3:30 in the back parking lot. Finally, November 4th from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm we will have our annual Back to School Pancake Breakfast! Last year we had more than half our families attend the breakfast. I would like to see everyone come in and eat breakfast with us this year! We will have pancakes; fresh fruit, sausages, juice and milk catered by Denny’s. Yummy!!
Quick reminders:
Please put your child’s name on all sippy cups and water bottles. We do not want the children drinking from other children’s cups.
One last reminder please put your sheet and blanket for nap time in a bag labeled with your child’s name. If it does not have a name on it, then we do not know who it belongs to. Thank you for your cooperation!
For our children who are graduating to Kindergarten in the new school year, visit the Elementary front office for information on how to reserve your spot! There will be a Kindergarten Orientation on the Elementary side in January. This would be the perfect time to learn more about the program. Keep an eye out for Karen Cooper’s emails. If you cannot make it to those events, or you want to see the Elementary School sooner, you can always schedule a personal tour with Ms. Cooper. Please contact the Elementary Principal for more details. Her name is Karen Cooper and her contact number is 408-254-1282. You can also reach her at karen.coooper@nlcinc.com
As always, if you have any questions or concerns my door is always open. We are here to help you and “our” children in any way we can. Everyone at Merryhill is special and important to us. Let us continue to make this a great school year!

Parent Referral Program:
If there’s one thing parents love to do, it’s talk about their children’s successes.
When friends ask you about your child’s experiences at Merryhill School, what type of success stories do you share? Do you mention the personal and educational discoveries your child is making thanks to our advanced curriculum? Do you talk about the new levels of self and social confidence your child has gained thanks to our encouraging atmosphere?
*For every new child you refer who enrolls at our school for three months, you’ll receive one FREE week of tuition for your child*.
It’s our way of saying thanks for doing what comes naturally – singing the praises of your child and sharing your experiences with the Merryhill School difference!!
