Summer camp is just around the corner and we can’t wait for all our fun activities and special guests. John Abrams will bring his Animal Magic Show (with live exotic pets!) to school on Wednesday, June 13, at 10:30 a.m. Our theme at the end of the month will be America the Beautiful. We’ll show our patriotism during the week of June 25 with lots of fun crafts including handmade flags and hats! On Tuesday, June 26, musician Dan Crow will be here to perform a “Patriotic Sing Along.” We’re looking forward to a visit from our favorite puppeteer, Franklin Haynes, on Friday, June 29 who will be presenting “Frankie’s 4th of July” marionette show. We’ve attached a copy of our summer themes so take a look at all the exciting events we have planned!

Scholastic book orders are due on Friday morning, June 8. This will be our last book order for the school year and we’ll offer them again starting next September. Please make book order checks out to Patti’s Preschool or you can easily order online using our class code GW3RF.

Many, many thanks to all the thoughtful parents who treated us to so many yummy doughnuts, coffee, sandwiches, fabulous gifts, flowers, and cards during Teacher Appreciation Week. You made it a special week for all of us at Patti’s Preschool!

We will be closed on Friday, June 22, for Teacher Prep Day. We will be busy getting ready for our summer session which begins on Monday, June 25. Your child will move to his/her new classroom on that day. Our summer rosters will be posted in front of the school on Monday, June 18. Please remember that your child will be in the new class for the summer and then move up again in September.

We’re looking forward to our 4th of July Parade on Monday, July 2! Please send your child to school wearing red, white, or blue to show off his or her patriotism.

To celebrate Father’s Day, try taking Dad to Tanaka Farms in Irvine on June 16 for a special Father’s Day BBQ luncheon.
