23-25 Thanksgiving Holiday
Hello ACG Friends and Families,
I am sending out this edition of the Garden News a day early because we do not have school tomorrow in celebration of Veteran’s Day. First and foremost, we’d like to wish a hearty “Happy Veteran’s Day” to our community members who have served in the armed forces. We thank you for your service and honor your role in keeping our country safe from harm and for protecting our freedoms. Enjoy your day.
Next week is another busy time as we host Coffee with Kathy, our Board Meeting and our Dine n’ Donate Fundraiser at California Pizza Kitchen. Mr. Ian, Ms. Hope, Ms. Sandria, and I will be in Washington D.C. attending the National Conference for our accrediting body, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). It is the first time since 2019 that this conference has been held in person and we feel lucky to be able to attend. We will participate in workshops, network with other early childhood professionals, and find out the latest and greatest in the wonderful profession of which we are a part. Mr. Ian is actually a member of the Governing Board and will be representing us so very well as he attends several planning meetings, advocacy events and meet and greet mixers. The Garden News will be coming to you from D.C. next week with hopefully lots of great details about our time at the conference. 😊
I hope you received the minutes from our November FIC Meeting last Saturday. There are many exciting events being planned for the rest of the year and we are
looking forward to them all. As I stated above, this Wednesday evening will be our Dine n’ Donate Event at California Pizza Kitchen. Show the attached flyer or mention A
Child’s Garden on your visit, and California Pizza Kitchen will DONATE 20% OF ALL FOOD & BEVERAGE SALES to us! Purchases include dine-in, take-out, catering, and online orders at CPK.com when you enter BACK20% at checkout. We can’t wait to see you there!
Last, but not least, our Family Conferences are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, November 21st and 22nd. There will be no school for the children those days, but we will provide childcare during your conference time. Siblings are welcome to be in childcare as well. We hope you take this opportunity to hear about your child’s growing and learning this fall, but please know that conferences are not mandatory.
