Fun to be Fit is this Friday! Plan to meet us on the track at 1:15-1:20-we
will be just to the left of the gate.
Walk begins at 1:30. Please watch
the weather and dress your child accordingly.
Best to have the children wear tennis shoes with socks as we walk or run
the track for 30 minutes. All pink Fun
to Be Fit shirts will be handed out on Thursday if you ordered one. If you did not order one, wear a pink shirt
or our Kindergarten shirt.
All are welcome to
join us up on the track—strollers work great for younger children! Once the
walk begins children do not have to stay with me—the DO have to stay inside the
fenced track area. Once the walk is
finished we ALL meet back at the beginning spot and will walk back to the
classroom together. At the end you are
welcome to walk back with us to the classroom and check your child out to go
home. Water bottles are ok to send in
but we have been asked to leave them in the room for after the event. If it is sunny consider putting sunscreen on.
Tuesday is our Kindergarten program at 1:30 in the Elenbaas Performing
Arts Center. Children are encouraged to
wear a Disney shirt. Please park in the
big parking lot (football field end.)
and meet us in the auditorium. Once the
program is finished you are welcome to come back to the room and check your
child out to go home for the day.
Wednesday is our field trip to the Kettunen Center. Please have your children wear long pants
(mosquitoes are nasty this year!), tennis shoes with socks. Bring/wear a jacket. We
will be bringing our backpacks—please make sure your child has an extra set of
clothing inside their backpack just in case!!!!!!
Please no toys in their
backpacks!
If you chose to not purchase a meal from
the Kettunen center for your child, make sure your child has a SACK lunch.
Please NO POP or chocolate! (makes a mess!)
Also, an FYI for adults—there can be no
smoking on the trip. Kettunen Center is
smoke free zone as well.
