The preschool hosted a Mother\u2019s Day event Thursday to celebrate the moms in the program. Moms ate breakfast with their preschooler and then made crafts with the children.<\/p>\n
Preschoolers who attend kindergarten in the fall went to the elementary school\u2019s cafeteria earlier this week to eat lunch with the kindergartners. The preschoolers learned where the cafeteria is located and how to gather their utensils, trays and milk. Its a big transition going from family-style eating to the large cafeteria.<\/p>\n
Today, May 7, the preschool will host their End of the Year picnic. The picnic is a celebration with families to end the year of preschool. The Parent Group provides pizza and games. This is also the time students take part in the St. Judes\u2019s Trike-a-Thon. Staff set up a bicycle obstacle course\/track for the children to ride their trikes through, and the children have already gathered pledges and ride their trikes to raise money for children at St. Jude\u2019s Hospital. This is a fun day for our children, staff and families.<\/p>\n
May 14 will be the last day of school for Head Start children, and it is also the preschool graduation. Graduation is held at the community center at 10:30 a.m. Expect the whole shebang: caps, gowns, diplomas, tassels and of course, cake afterwards.<\/p>\n
Summer reading program<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is that time again! The end of the school year is quickly approaching. Many families ask me what they can do to support learning all summer long. My answer is always the same: Read, read, and read some more,\u201d says principal Sherri Maxwell.<\/p>\n
Once again we are offering our Summer Reading Program. We encourage our students to read for 20 minutes each day all summer long. The PTA donates books to give to our students to get them started. Students have access to the Accelerated Reader (AR) program at the Dolores Public Library so they can get a jump-start on our annual AR competition.<\/p>\n
To \u201cSweeten\u201d the pot, students are rewarded with a free ice cream at the Dolores Food Market for each completed reading log.<\/p>\n
