Thank you, wonderful Newsletter Assembly Committee: Debra, Lara, Jackie, and Julia for assembling October' s newsletter. Thanks to Andrea for being our Campbell's Soup Labels chairperson. We all appreciate you! And thanks to Elizabeth and Alyson for chairing our childcare for staff meetings committee. We appreciate each of you!

This year our Thanksgiving Feast will be held on Tuesday, November 25th in our Parish Hall! This luncheon is for the grandparents (or "grand"-people) in your children's lives and for you parents and
siblings, too! We will be asking each family to sign up to bring two dishes (breads, stuffing/dressing, green bean casserole, other sides, and desserts) per child enrolled. Last year we had just enough food, so thank you in advance for signing up. The preschool will provide the turkey, ham, gravy, paper products and drinks. The children have been decorating the invitations in their classes, and I will mail them on Friday, November 7. On Tuesday, November 25th, the children will come to school as they normally do at 9:00. The twos and their families will eat beginning at 11:00; the threes will begin at 11:15; and the fours will begin at 11:30. If you have more than one child here, you may eat with both of them at one of their designated times. If your child will not have a grandparent or parent attending the feast, the teacher will stay with the child. This year we will close the silent auction items at noon. Be sure to bid on your favorite holiday gift basket! After the feast, just sign your child out and remember to retrieve your dishes. School holidays are Wednesday, November 26 and Thursday, November 27. We at Grace Preschool hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving with your families. We will see you back at school on Tuesday, December 2nd!

Thank you, Stephanie Revell, for taking our fall pictures. Remember orders are due by November 13th to avoid a $20 late fee. Thanks to Natalie, Jennifer, Kristin, and Rachel for all of your help on our
Picture Days.

Thanks to those parents who volunteered to take charge of the baskets in each classroom. The items are looking great!

A HUGE "Thank You" to all the parents who helped with the Fall Festival. The children all had so much fun. It was a treat to see their smiling faces, and it was all possible due to our fabulous parents!

The Georgetown Community Blood Center (located in Wolf Ranch) is in need of blood donations. Donations of blood usually slow down in the holiday season and that is usually when more blood is needed. Please think about donating blood over the holiday season. Visit www.bloodandtissue.org
for more information and for days and hours of operation.

Thanks to all who came out to Applebee's for our Dining to Donate Night on October 7th. We had a decent turn-out, and the school netted $160 for our scholarship fund! Thanks Applebee's!

Remember to save your Campbell's Soup Labels for your child's classroom. The classroom collecting the most labels each month will be treated to an ice cream or cookie party! Yum!

Book and Software Orders due: Thursday, November 13th!

This book order might be back in time for Thanksgiving, but it will definitely be here for the Christmas holidays if you are planning any gifts from this order. We will have one more order before Christmas.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!!!
Mark your calendars now for the 28th Annual Christmas Stroll on the Square Parade. The parade will be on Saturday, December 6th beginning at noon. This is such a fabulous time in our wonderful town. Please make plans to join us on our float or cheer us on as we drive by. What fun!

Thank you for respecting the teachers' time before school and getting your children to class right on time at 9:00 a.m. If you ever happen to be early, please feel free to visit the playground with your child or wait in Room 18 for the school day to begin. Teachers cannot adequately supervise children while preparing lessons and securing materials for the day. Please remember to pack your child's backpack with a change of clothing (suitable to the weather) in case of accidents. If we do not have a change of clothing for your child, we will put him/her in G.E.P.'s spare clothing. We ask that you launder and return the spare clothing as soon as possible so we will have it if we need it for another child. Thanks for your help with this. And Remember: We do get dirty at Preschool! :-)

Latest News: We are adding a new student of the week soon. Come by and see who it is.
