Get ready for a “Spook-Tacular” month!
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 “Spook-Tacular” activities for the Fall Fun!
We will have our Diwali Rangoli (sand art) created by our students, annual Pumpkin Patch on our playground, our first “Truck-or-Treat” and pumpkin maze in the back parking lot (see link below to volunteer), and our grand finale, the Halloween Parade. See Calendar of Events below for exact dates and times.
For our annual pumpkin patch each child will pick their very own pumpkin to take home. The school will provide the pumpkins at no extra cost. One of the most exciting events that happens each year is our annual Halloween Parade. Here at Merryhill Preschool in San Jose, we normally make our own costumes. We design and craft them here at school with the help of the children and teachers. This year we will not be able to do this, but please don’t worry, we are going to have fun with their “store bought” costumes from home! Please have your child bring in a costume from home for our Halloween Parade that will be held on Monday, October 31st at 3:30 pm on our Elementary sports court (the same area as the Spring Show last year). We will have signs leading you there for those who were not here last year. For the first time in 3 years, we will be able to have the parents join us for this Halloween Parade Event!
We will be closed on November 22nd for our Parent/Teacher Conferences. There will be no school for the children on this day, but the teachers will be here to “Zoom” conference with you. Parent/Teacher conferences will not be “in-person”, but through “Zoom” only. We will have sign-up sheets for you to pick a time for your child’s “Zoom” conference. These signup sheets will be in the preschool lobby by November 7th.
Did you know? Car seats expire…check your car seat and make sure it is not expired…see car seat flyer link for more safety information.
To find more information on how to determine if your child is in the right seat for his or her age and size, visit NHTSA.gov/TheRightSeat or NHTSA.gov/Protegidos
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 make this a great school year!
