You will be seeing lots about registration, but just to remind you, a copy of your child’s birth certificate will be required the day of registration.

Remember you can download registration forms from shadowrockpreschool.org to bring in filled out. If you do not have the capability of downloading the paperwork, just come by the preschool office to pick up paperwork.

Our doors will open at 7:00 on Registration Day but the process won’t begin until 9:30 so don’t feel like you need to go crazy getting here early.

Drop off your children at 9:00 and then come visit with board members until your number is called.

See you there.

Saturday night, February 25th was one of those magical times that occur and we hope you were there to experience it.  The evening started with an actual walk on a red carpet followed by a visit to the patio overlooking Moon Valley Golf Course where tables and tables of silent auction items awaited our pleasure. From class baskets to donated items to trips to the wine country, we were able to select items of interest to each of us. Diamondback tickets were very popular as well as lunches with our preschool teachers.

As the sun set and the twinkle lights crisscrossed like stars overhead, we were ushered inside to enjoy a wonderful Italian dinner. Grab bags, wine bags and a montage of our children’s faces entertained us during dinner. Then the iPad game was lots of fun as we picked heads or tails down to the last two people. A special thank you to Scott Redden and Right Honda for donating the iPad.

The Live Auction was the last event and we had great choices to bid on from a condo in Rocky Point to a vasectomy.

It was wonderful seeing so many new and old faces that night. Thank you all for supporting us.

The biggest thanks goes to the Board ladies who worked night and the many preschool families not on the Board who gave of their time also.

We hit the $20,000 mark!

You touch our hearts.

Our annual fund raiser is Saturday, February 25th. You won’t want to miss this fun evening. Talk it up with other parents in your child’s room and come together.

There will be games, great food and drinks, socializing, the silent auction and the live auction.

Since our event is the night before the Oscars some people are wanting to dress up a bit. That sounds fun, but the dress is everything from nicely casual to dressy.

If you haven’t donated to your child’s class basket yet, please get your donation in so the workers can assemble the baskets. If you are unsure what the basket theme is for your class, ask the teacher. Hopefully you all got an e-mail on it.

This is our biggest fundraiser of the year to help keep tuitions from rising too steeply.

Not all items are pricey. You can get lots of good things without emptying your pockets.

Mainly we ask that you support our school by attending. We look forward to seeing you at this fun event!

Don’t miss our big family night event Friday, February 10th from 6-8 PM. It is sponsored by the Church and the Preschool and is truly multi-generational. There will be refreshments, dancing, trivia and live entertainment. I wonder who is coming?

This is a totally free evening and we encourage you to bring all the children, preschool age or not, and the grandparents. Smith Hall will be rocking.

Just think, in one month you can have a night out with the kids, and a night out without the kids. Now that’s a deal!

Winter Break was a wonderful blend of craziness, peacefulness and rejuvenation. How nice to have extra family time and maybe spend quality time with friends you can’t seem to schedule in during the rest of the year.

Many children enjoyed cousins and grandparents who live elsewhere. Reconnection is so important with extended family.

Returning to school and meeting up with your classmates is special again. For awhile getting back into the routine can be hard, but the teachers quickly have their classes humming like clockwork again. Believe it or not, teachers really do miss these little ones after a two week separation.

We are just back one week and then have the next Monday off for Martin Luther King Day, but then we will really settle in for the second half of the year.

Teachers will be taking a really good look at how your child is doing as they prepare for Parent/Teacher Conferences in February. They will give you valuable insight into your youngsters and where they might do best the following year. Our teachers have lots of experience, so listen. They want what is best for the children and so do you.

Welcome back. It’s good to be here.
