All The Things

Staff Meeting Change
Dave Zimmer would like to come and share the proposed budget before our HC Society meeting. In order to accommodate his request, let's move our monthly staff meeting from Thursday, March 14 to Tuesday, March 12. Dave is available at 3:30. We will hold a brief after-school meeting with Dave on Tuesday, March 12 at 3:30. All are invited to attend this meeting. 

Welcome Jim
The Open House is back on – the date that works for Jim and Martie and the date that we can use Main Street is Tuesday, February 26, which doesn’t give us a lot of time.   At 3:45 p.m., Jim will address the staff.  The Open House is from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m.   

Worker Bee
If you haven't already sent out your blog, would you be willing to copy and paste this little note into your class blogs? 

Many of our students throughout South Side have recently engaged in non-fiction research projects. They've been delving into non-fiction books and excitedly sharing their findings and are working diligently to publish their work. We're thrilled, as a staff, to revel in their enthusiasm for learning. As you know, good learning can create good messes. Big ones. Our library is showing the enthusiastic research our children have engaged in. There are books that have been returned recently at a much faster rate than our volunteers can keep up with. We're flying the white flag and seeking help! If you have availability and are willing, we'd love to welcome you into our library to sort and reshelve our book supply. We'll hold a book reshelve party (doesn't that sound too good to pass up?) on Thursday, February 28 at 10:00. Snacks will even be provided! Please email Miska at mrynsburger@hollandchristian.org if you are willing and available to help in our media center. 

Lia and Diane Return!
Mark your calendars! Diane Walters and Lia Buursma would like to get all caught up with their South Side family. They are bringing soup for lunch on Thursday, February 28. Please pull up a chair, enjoy some soup and laugh with old friends! ....not to say they're old....at least not too much....let's leave that adjective out! ;)

Just for good measure, I'll paste here the notes from last week's post (because...you never know...maybe reading this gets skipped ONLY here and there ;) ) 

Yearbook Notice
ALL Yearbook Photos are due in 1 week on Friday, March 1. If you are a Preschool, Jr. K, K-2 Teacher, or After School Care teacher, this includes you! The committee needs your class photo, fun shots, Maker's Week, Wacky Wednesday, class verse, etc. Search your email for the "YEARBOOK!!" email from Jenna on January 16 to see what things the yearbook committee needs you to do while uploading and renaming your files. Thanks for getting them in on time! See Jenna or Karen S. for details.

Report Cards 
Just for your planning purposes, our third quarter report cards will go home on March 22. If you're able, please have them completed by the 21st so we can print and stuff them for you.

Parent Teacher Conferences
Again, for planning purposes, our parent teacher conferences for the spring will be held on March 25 and 27 from 4:00-8:00.

Kevin Kammeraad
March 28 from 10:30-11:30 Kevin Kammeraad will talk with our little ones about creativity and writing! We'll be in the gym for this fun event (helpful, I hope, after a looooong week leading toward spring break! Fweew!)
