Fundraising News
Thank You!
Thank you to all parents for your many contributions great and small. The Learning Center thrives on your amazing support and encouragement. You are truly appreciated by both staff and students. What is special about your mom or dad helping in the classroom? My favorite part is when she put the ball in. -Aaron I like that on her birthday, I ate lunch with her and we sang, Happy Birthday to her. -Mia That she can be here. -Kai C. That my mom and dad teach here. -Shyne That youre here now.-Aidan
The annual drive is continuing. $2946 in donations have been received from our family and friends. Our goal is 100% participation from enrolled families. So far, eight families have participated. Please make your donation today! Our Annual Rummage Sale is fast approaching. The planned date is Saturday, July 2nd at the Learning Center. Please take the time over the next few weeks to gather items to donate for the sale. Ask your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers if they can donate items. We are able to store items for the sale in our storage shed. Please bring items priced and ready for sale. There is a sign-in sheet posted asking for volunteers for the day of the sale. We brought in $1,000 at our sale last year. It is an important fundraiser for us.
and a back-to-school supply list. We currently have 26 students committed to attending the Learning Center. Our maximum capacity with Child Care Licensing is 30. We already have a wait list of students hoping for a spot in the upcoming school roster. We cant encourage you enough to get your enrollment forms in ASAP to ensure your child keeps his/her spot!

Summer Projects
Please speak to Phyllis if you are interested in helping with the outside play yard project this summer. We are looking for volunteers who can help tear out the remaining carpet and put down laminate flooring over the summer. Please let a board member know if you can help. The learning center will undergo another remodel over the summer. The library will be expanded into Baes room giving the children more workspace.
Keep in Touch
Remember to check the facebook page over the summer for news, updates and pictures of the summer projects.
Parent Survey
Please return the Parent Questionnaire as you are able. Included in the newsletter are copies, just in case you might have misplaced them. Hand them in, mail them in or stick them in the drop box. We need your input!
Back to School
On Monday, August 29th, there will be Back-to-School Orientation at 5:00 p.m. Please bring your entire family and a potluck item to share with the group. We will meet new families and see old friends. It is important that all families attend. We will be going over program guidelines, expectations for the new school year and program structure. The only anticipated changes next year will be Lorry and Myra in the classroom for more hours and Sharon in the classroom full-time. Even though the official start of school is August 29th, Kindergarten through 6th grade students will start their classroom work on Tuesday, September 6th. The first week of school (August 29-September 2) will be a home-school week for the students. Kinders will be 1/2 day during that week. Sharon will instruct the families on home-study ideas at the Backto-School Orientation on August 29th.
Enrollment
Some enrollment fees are still outstanding. If your child is enrolling for Kindergarten, the fee is $100. All other enrollees need to pay $200. Please pay your enrollment fee ASAP. Please remember that the parent body (we) hold the lease for the building year round and (we) have bills to pay year round. Monthly dues of $50 per Kindergartener and $100 per 1st-6th grader will resume in September. Every family will receive a packet in the mail in August requesting September dues, a cleaning money envelope, a calendar for snack rotation, a recess duty calendar
