Week of March    17,2014

Dear Parents,

THANK YOU: Thank you to Teri Thies and her helpers for hosting our St. Patrick’s Celebration. The children had fun with their leprechaun “traps.” We appreciate all the parents who sent in food and supplies.

THANK YOU: Thank you to Eliana Ferrari’s “Nona” who talked to us about the country of Italy. We enjoyed her homemade biscotti, and nutella roll. We loved looking at the pictures of Italy and dancing the Tarantella.

RETREAT: The TYKERS will be participating in the school wide retreat on March 28. The theme is “Peace and Justice” and one of our activities will be making a poster with our “school” family. Please have your child bring in a magazine picture illustrating peace and justice in our world to put on the poster.
