The Weekly Update #4

Spring is in full bloom, and we are soaking up every moment of this joyful season! April is a wonderful time for fresh starts, new discoveries, and lots of outdoor play. Our little learners have been buzzing with energy as they explore nature, dive into new activities, and continue to grow in amazing ways. This month we are focusing on themes like Earth Day, planting and growing, and the wonders of weather. Our Pre K 2 classes will be completing a project based learning unit on butterflies and utilizing the outdoor learning lab to plant milkweed and other plants that attract butterflies. Our Pre k 3 and 4 students will be getting dirty in the vegetable garden that was graciously donated by Eagle Scout Clay Jacks.

We also will be celebrating our Grand parents , and celebrating Episcopal Schools week.

As always, thank you for your continued support and sharing your amazing children with us each day. We look forward to a month full of laughter, learning, the joys of Easter, and lots of sunshine!

We are excited to share that construction on our campus is expected to wrap up by mid-April! Thank you for your patience and flexibility over the past few months as we have worked to improve our campus. We are looking forward to a smooth transition back to normal routines once everything is complete. Stay tuned for more details on our new carline procedures which will be starting soon.

We are excited to welcome our Grand friends on to campus April 9th - 11th. Your child's teacher should have provided you with information regarding the celebration. If you have any questions regarding date or time please feel free to reach out to us!

St. Michael's is happy to welcome you to enjoy church services with us on April 13th at 10:30 a.m. Following the 10:30 a.m. service there will be burgers served in the PLC and we will be playing a few rounds of Bingo where you could win a prize! Let's celebrate the end of construction and enjoy the beauty of our new campus!

St. Michael's Church vestry has asked me to invite you and your families to our Easter Sunday services, flowering of the cross, and the Easter Egg Hunt that will happen after the 10:30 a.m. service. Childcare is available and we would love to have you celebrate with us.

St. Michael's Preschool will be closed for Easter break April 14th - 21st. School will resume on April 22nd.

During the break, our buildings and roofs will be pressure washed, and our Pre-K 2 playground will be getting landscaping and a trike track completed! We are so excited for these projects around campus, we cannot wait for the children to see the improvements when they return!

We were so excited to have the opportunity to partner up with Perino's Garden Center for yet another fundraiser! Thank you to everyone who participated. Flower pick up will be on April 7th and 8th during carline.

Our last fundraiser for the year is right around the corner. Thursday April 10th from 4:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. If you visit Raising Cane's 3801 Hwy 22 in Mandeville, they will donate 15% of the sales back to the school!

A friendly reminder for families using morning care: drop-off ends promptly at 8:30 a.m. This allows us to safely transition the children to the classrooms by 8:40 a.m., ensuring they've settled, are accounted for, and ready for the day before our carline begins at 8:45 a.m. Thank you for helping us to keep mornings running smoothly and making sure all children start their day with a calm and consistent routine!
