Welcome to the “MERRY” Month of May!

Thank you so very much for all of your participation during our very busy month of April which included The Week of the Young Child and Earth Day Planting Day. I know that your children  enjoyed the fun activities and memories of these great events.

The next few months will be packed full of activity and fun! While in April we celebrated all of the young children in our lives, the months of May and June will be dedicated to celebrating our mothers, fathers, teachers and Pre-K graduates.

We will be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week, beginning on May 3^rd.  This week will be dedicated to recognizing the teachers for the wonderful work that they do each and every day.

For Mother’s Day you will be invited to pick up a special Mother’s Day Breakfast Treat from 6:30-9am in the courtyard on Friday, May 7th. We will also have a special photo area set up to capture special moments with your children.

For our Pre-K children who will be going onto Kindergarten in the Fall, we will be hosting our Drive Thru Graduation Ceremony on the morning of Friday, June 18th.

We are now accepting enrollment for our Summer Camp Programs.  This year we will be offering a special Kindergarten Enrichment Camp for our graduating students who will be entering Kindergarten soon.  We will also be offering a very exciting  Summer Fun Camp for our school age students who are interested in attending this summer.  Spaces are limited, so please make sure to visit our Summer Camp Website for more details.

With Summer and Graduation quickly approaching I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you of our 30 day notice policy, which is extremely critical in lesson and activity planning, transitioning children to their new classrooms and staffing.  30 day notice is required for all children regarding Schedule Changes, Vacations, Extended Leave Requests, and Withdrawals from the program regardless of if the children are graduating, or staying for a portion of the Summer, even if they are not registered for next school year.

Please read below for more information regarding upcoming events and themed dress up days

Thank you for being a very important part of the Merryhill Family!

Sincerely,

Tammy Wells- Principal
