Week of the Young Child
Well, we had an eventful afternoon to start off our Week of the Young Child! I took some pictures today of the creative art, but didn’t get a chance to download them. I will share those tomorrow!
Tomorrow is Read Aloud Day! You may come to school dressed as your favorite book character. I can’t wait to see!
If you have not already, please visit the link below and register for our Trike-A-Thon fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Click on Find Your School and then on our 4/15/21 event. We have been participating in this fundraiser for over 20 years and it is very special to us, as one of our very own MCDC students is currently at St. Jude this week. Please get your family and friends involved and let’s crush our goal of $5000!!!

I hope the children really feel special this week! More details about the week to come!
Week of the Young Child April 12th-16th
Monday: Creative Art Day
We will spend the day on Monday doing lots of creative art! If you have any art mediums you would like to donate, we would love that!
Tuesday: Read Aloud Day and dress as your favorite book character
Bring in your favorite book to share and dress as your favorite book character! We will be reading rock stars on Tuesday.
Wednesday: Music Day
Music will be in the air all day on Wednesday! If you have different types of music that you could share, we would love to introduce the children to as many different genres of music as possible.
Thursday: Trike-A-Thon
Our annual Trike-A-Thon is to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our goal this year is to raise $5000!! You will find a pledge sheet in your child’s folder or cubby. The pledge sheets need to be turned in by Friday April 16th. The classroom to raise the most money will get a Pizza Party!!
The preschool children will bring in a riding toy (tricycle, bike, but nothing electric) and they will ride around the front parking lot. Please plan to have your children dropped off and the parking lot clear by 8:45am that morning.
Preschool C will ride from 9:00am-9:30am, Preschool B will ride from 9:45am-10:15am and Preschool A will ride from 10:30am-11:00am. The younger children may bring in a riding toy to play with on the playground on Thursday. You can take this riding toy directly to your child’s classroom on Thursday when you drop off. The preschoolers will park their tricycles or bikes in the front of the center by their classroom label.
Friday: Science Day and Ice Cream Social
We will end the week with a bang! We will be conducting science experiments. If you have any ideas for us, please let your child’s teacher know!
We will also have an Ice Cream Social at your child’s snack time. MCDC will provide the ice cream and we will have a sign up for toppings.
