Welcome to the Ant Hill

Wednesday, April 30, 2014

The program is tonight. Arrive at the classroom at 6:00. There is no homework tonight. 

Parents- To help you "plot" the best seating...Our class will be on the left risers if you are facing the stage. If anyone videotapes tonight's performance, would you please make a copy for me? My "Fairy Godmother" will be here this weekend and I would love for her to see the show! (SCOREBOARD POINTS!)

Boys- Arrive "in uniform" of black pants and white shirts with sashes, medals, shoulderboards, etc. You should look like a prince.

Girls- Princesses need to arrive with hair and make up ready. All you will have to do is slip on your dress.

We have the best gifts....all for $10 or less!! Come shop at the General Store!


Hello, Parents!
Next week is a great week to be a General! We have two exciting events for the kiddos!

The first event is the Annual Putt-Putt Practice Marathon. Each child may bring in money to do practice putts, at $1 per putt. Each class will get to add that money to their class total for the Golf Marathon! Please see the schedule below for the day your child’s class is putting:

Monday: Penguins & Owls
Tuesday: Bees & Ice Cream Cones
Wednesday: Frogs & Sea Turtles
Thursday: Ants
Friday: Bears & Giraffes

The second event is that the General Store has been stocked with specialty items for Mother’s Day. Items range from $3 to $10 and we have gifts for moms, step-moms, and grandmas! This will be done in a similar fashion as we did the Christmas Store Sales. Your child will shop on the same day as they do their practice putts. Be sure to send two separate envelopes with their money, one marked “putt-putt” and one marked “Mother’s Day.”

On Friday, after lunch, we will be doing "Easter Egg Olympics" out at the Pavilion. Parents are welcome to join us!
