A Note from Administration ?: Fall Fundraiser Tallies, Community Singalong Dec. 13th & more Important Dates!

Greetings, Community!

Fundraising Totals
What an incredible night our Farm to Fork Fundraiser event was - WOW! For those of you who were able to attend, you know what I am talking about: it was an unreal, amazing, off the hook party that left nothing to be desired.  On top of that, we raised over $15,000 towards our Fall Fund Goal.  It truly takes a village and I am super proud to be a part of this giving group of families and staff that have committed themselves to supporting quality education.  Below are the final stats of our fundraiser goals.  Congrats team, WE DID IT!!!

Fundraising Final Counts (gross):

Parent Participation: 32%
Staff Participation: 100%

Farm to Fork: $15,400
Fall Fund Drive: $10,717

Total Raised: $26,117.00

6-9 Information Session, Dec. 5th
I am looking forward to our 6-9 Information Session Wednesday, December 5th, from 10:30-NOON.  We will talk about how Curriculum for Excellence translates onto Julia’s Garden soil and how it will serve your elementary-aged child.  All parents are welcome, but we especially encourage those whose child will be turning 6 within the next year to attend. 

Community Singalong, Dec. 13th
We will host our annual community holiday singalong on the last day of school, December 13th from 12:00 - 1:00.  Your children have been practicing hard and are excited to share their songs with you!  Plan to arrive promptly at noon for the singalong which will be held on the campus of 1702 (YCC and Casetta’s location). If the weather cooperates, we will hold our big sing on the Pavilion.  Afterwards, you and your child may choose to stay and enjoy a shared sack lunch together.  Note: your child will NOT arrive with a lunchbox this day.  For everyone’s safety, the playscape and playground areas will be closed during the singalong.  Siblings are welcome, but remember your child(ren) must remain supervised at all times.  We will have early dismissal for all programs at 1:00 PM and Julia’s Garden will close at 1:30 PM.

Enjoy the week ahead, and happy holidays!!
