NEW CARPET Coming

When you arrive on Sunday, you will see new carpet in the Preschool hallway. The carpet will be done in sections, so bear with us as we make progress. I know this has been a long time coming. You will see green and brown carpet that depicts a pathway through the grass. We are building toward a “Woodland” theme. This Sunday you will see posters of the theme, so take a minute to look at them.

STEP RIGHT UP to Serve Campaign

We are making progress in the enlistment campaign. We have started our talks with prospective teachers, taking them through their orientation and training. God is providing! Thank you for praying, but don’t stop now. I am grateful for those who have stepped up and followed God’s call to teach.

I am equally grateful for you, too. You are indeed an example to others. So many parents have stopped me and Sandra to say how grateful they are for their children’s teachers. Thank you, thank you! God truly is using us to help lay a foundation for spiritual development for all of our children. Teachers in KidLife, BYCS and those of you in Sunday School are working hard to minister, not only to our preschoolers, but to their parents.

Have a safe and restful weekend.  See you all on Sunday!

New Flooring

Happy Days are here!  We have been installing new Luxury Vinyl Tile in our Preschool classrooms since last week. The plan is to install the flooring in stages, so if your classroom has not been done yet, it will be in the next week or so. We are not installing new flooring in the following classrooms: 1141, 1142, 1143, 1144, and 1145. Since these rooms are used for babies and they were remodeled in the last few years, we will keep our carpet.

We are excited with the new upgrades taking place in the Preschool area. Please be patient with the process. We will let you know when we will be receiving new carpet for the hallways as well as the installation dates.

I want to make you aware of some things related to the new flooring.

• Please be careful when moving furniture. If you want to move a piece in your room, please pick it up and carry it, rather than dragging it.
• The new flooring will be easier to clean.
• We are purchasing area rugs. I know the class noise will be louder until we place the rugs.

Playground

Just a reminder:

• Instruct the children to leave the mulch ground cover in the mulch area and not carry it over to the blue surface.
• Please do not wear shoes with spike heels on the playground. You may want to bring a change of shoes for your time of service.
• Watch the children and remain nearby as they play. Accidents happen fast with preschoolers.

Differences in Boys and Girls

We are excited to have Mary Ann Bradberry with us on Wednesday, August 20, 6:30 – 7:30, in Baskin Chapel. She will address the differences in how boys and girls process information. Please join us. Childcare is available, but you need to make reservations by Monday noon, August 18.

Prayer Needs: STEP RIGHT UP

May I ask you to pray specifically for new teachers in our ministry? There are needs at 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00. You will notice a STEP RIGHT UP banner in our area this Sunday. We are in the midst of an enlistment campaign this month, and we ask for your prayers! We are about important business as we teach preschoolers about God, Jesus, the Bible, and the Church. We are literally laying a foundation for spiritual development. I thank you in advance for your faithfulness in payer for this initiative.

SEE YOU SUNDAY!
