Dear Parents

March is here and now there are only a few days until spring and warmer weather.

We are currently learning about Vincent van Gogh and his early life. We are reading a chapter book that paints a picture of Vincents early life as a child and the little town he grew up in the Netherlands.

Throughout the rest of the school year we are going to learn about Vincents art and his paintings.

Many children are now part of our reading program and we would like to thank all parents for taking the time to practice reading with your children, it makes a big difference. Reading is so much more complex than just reading the story itself. Even though the children are reading their book many times over, it really benefits their ability to memorize the spelling of each word, and leads to the ability to read by sight.

We also would like to ask to NOT remove the staples from the readers to copy them, as this will destroy our books.

Photo Retake day is Wednesday March 11th 2026 at 9 AM.
All children that need a photo retake must attend school at 9 AM that day.

On Thursday March 12th 2026 we are taking the children on a Field Trip to Rain or Shine Ice Cream Shop.

Details will be send out on a separate email.

Spring Break is coming up and our school will be closed from March 16th to March 27th 2026.

School resumes on Monday March 30th 2026 with regular school hours.


Thank you for re-registering your child/children with our school for the coming school year. The morning class is almost full and we have openings in the afternoon class.

Lastly we would would like to share a friendly reminder in terms of your children's safety and respect to the church.

The church has observed that the children have not been handling their flowers and plants with care.

To help maintain a positive relationship and keep the grounds well cared for, we kindly ask that if you or your nanny plan to stay on site for more than 10 minutes after pick up, please take your child to the playground at Mount Pleasant Elementary School rather than allowing them to run on the grass area and sidewalk, close to Broadway, around the Church property.

We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us to keep the environment safe and respectful for everyone.
