Hello, beloved church family. I hope you have been enjoying another glorious Colorado summer! Over here at Sonshine Patch Preschool, things have been pretty quiet once we fixed the sidewalk, removed a dead tree, and waxed the floors.
Now that that's all taken care of we are starting to get everything and everyone else ready for a new school year! Teachers will be returning to work next week for meetings, orientation, and professional development. Over several days, classrooms will be set up, and walls, bulletin boards, and cubbies will be colorfully decorated, ready to welcome all our students!!
Our preschool will hold a Back to School Night on Thursday, 8/29, for families to come meet teachers, find classrooms, pick up Welcome Packets, and ask any questions about the year. At this time, I would like to invite anyone interested in helping us provide cookies for this event. We will thankfully accept any homemade or store-bought cookies to the refrigerator in the B.O.B. multi-purpose room kitchen before Aug. 29th.
I would also like to bring your attention to an opportunity to support our ongoing Scholarship Fund. Over the many decades, our school has been blessed and supported so well by First Pres. That support comes in the form of love, prayer, maintenance, and finances. I continue to be encouraged and inspired by the generosity of our church family! Through donations to the Scholarship Fund, families who couldn't otherwise enroll in preschool have been blessed to have their children placed in our quality, faith-based program. We have seen children faced with hardships such as low-income homes, broken families, or in the foster care system now thriving in our classrooms under the tender care and education of our dedicated staff. We exist to nurture young hearts and minds, prepare for kindergarten readiness, teach the Bible and the Good News of Christ, encourage exploration and imagination through play, and unconditionally love everyone who walks through our doors.
We have seen God's faithfulness as He provides for our needs and equips us to serve. I am truly honored to have been called to this role here at Sonshine and look forward to how the Lord will use me, you, our teachers, board, parents, and the community to make a difference for eternity.
With heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support,
Daisy Chell, SPP Director
