Wow, it’s so cold!  I have heard people comparing our temperatures to Alaska’s current temperature, and we actually have them beat!  I’m not sure this is something I want to be celebrating.  In hopes to warm it up, the teachers will be filling the classrooms with love and hearts, plus red and pink on Friday.  Please remember school is closed Friday, February 1st.  I also had to switch our pizza day to tomorrow.  If you missed my note last week; we will be having pizza on Thursday not Friday this week. 

​

The children will celebrate Valentine’s Day, February 14th, with a special snack and card exchange.  The Pre-primary class has 16 children, but cards are completely optional for this class and the teachers will distribute the cards.  Mrs. Park’s class has 18 children and Mrs. Hepler’s class has 19 children.  Please only have your child sign their name to the card, this makes distribution so much easier, just leave the “To:” spot blank.

​

Just a reminder, if you are looking for volunteer opportunities we are always looking for library volunteers, sign up here.  We also have two volunteer signups for the upcoming events, Sweetheart Social and “Oh the Place You’ll Go” Vacation Bingo.  Thank you to all the volunteers that have already signed up or volunteered.  The children and CHBC community are always grateful for the hours each family dedicates to our school.

​

Stay warm!

It has been a busy start for 2019!  I want to share all the happenings that will begin soon.

​

First, On February 9th we will be hosting our annual Sweetheart Social in Fellowship Hall.  The event is from 1:00 PM-3:00 PM.  There will be snacks, crafts, balloon twisting and entertainment.  There are opportunities to help and get your volunteer hours at by clicking on the sign-up genius, please use the link to RSVP, too! We look forward to seeing you all there!

​

I am also excited to share about the launch of a new program at CHBC called, Montessori Mornings.  The program is designed for the younger child, 13 months – 3 years, giving them the opportunity to explore creatively, independently and socially alongside a parent or caregiver.  Classes will be held twice a week from 9:30 AM-11:00 AM on Tuesdays and Thursdays for six-week sessions.  The first six-week session begins on March 5, 2019.  Do you know a child that would enjoy this program?  Please help me spread the word and expand our CHBC community.  The flyer is here and in the email attachments.

​

The last order of business is our Spring fundraiser on May 11, 2019.  We will host our second “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” Vacation Bingo Night at Woods Hall, 325 S. Oxford Valley Road, Fairless Hills, PA 19030.  To make this event a great success I will need a crew of volunteers during the different phases leading up to the big night.  I will be having a meeting on February 5 at 6:30 PM to share more information, organize the committee and volunteers, and answer questions.  Please let me know if you are interested in attending the meeting or would like more information on how you can volunteer for this event.  We also need donations for this event, so if you or someone you know would like to be a sponsor or make a donation, the email attachment has more information or click here to download the forms.   

Thank you!
