Daily Scripture

In the same way, let your light shine in front of others. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will praise your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16

Dates

We have found in past years that it helps our budget and bookkeeping immensely if we begin collecting tuition in August and stop in April.  We like to collect tuition checks on the 15th of each month beginning with August (which covers September's tuition).  The few days that we are in session in August should make-up for some of the Williamson County days that we are out in the fall and therefore there is no charge for those days.

With that in mind, we have set up a couple of days for you to come by the church, pay the first month tuition/supply fee and go ahead and fill out paperwork for the year.

Wednesday, August 17th 9:00 - 11:00 AM - drop by children's area to leave September tuition and fill out forms.

Thursday, August 18th 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM - drop by children's area to leave September tuition and fill out forms.

(You may come by between any of those times on either of those days.)

Tuesday/Thursday August 23rd and 25th - Teacher inservice - no MDO

Monday, August 29 - Meet the Teacher/Parent Meeting - Mon/Wed students only:  new students 9:30 - 10:30 AM; returning students 10:45 - 11:45 AM.

Tuesday, August 30 - Meet the Teacher/Parent Meeting - Tues/Thurs students only:  new students 9:30 - 10:30 AM; returning students 10:45 - 11:45 AM.

Wednesday, August 31 - First full day Mon/Wed students
Thursday, September 1 - First full day Tues/Thurs students

FCC VBS is full!

As usual the response to our VBS has been amazing.  We are now maxed out number-wise and cannot take any more children.  If you didn't sign up yet, we are so sorry.  Please make sure that you sign up early next year!

FACEBOOK

I am one of those reluctant Facebook people.  You know, one of the ones who only got an account so she could check up on her college-age kids!  Most of you who are my friends on Facebook know that I check it about once a month...maybe...

However, due to "gentle persuasion" by one of my teachers (Maria, you know who you are), I have created a Facebook page for FCC MDO.  It is very new - as in only a logo right now.  I will have to rely heavily on that same teacher to help me get the page up and going!

I would like right now to keep it "friends only" so I can feel free to post pictures.  I do not plan to tag any of the pictures though.  I tend to be cautious that way.

If you would like to be a friend of FRANKLIN CHRISTIAN MOTHER'S DAY OUT, please request me!  I will be sending out friend requests soon, but obviously don't know who all has accounts.

NURSERY, TODDLERS AND PRESCHOOL

As we get ready for another school year in a couple of months, I want to remind parents of a few things you may want to work on over the summer.

Nursery - nursery children will take only one nap and will do so on a nap mat.  Plastic nap mats can be purchased at Walmart (red/blue ones), and you can find covers online.  You can also simply use a blanket or king size pillowcase if you want a cover.  The children begin going down for a nap around 11:30 - 11:45 each day.  Please be sure and LABEL everything that goes in your tote bag each day.  They are too young to tell us what belongs to them!

Toddlers - Toddler 1 & 2 will also go down for a nap around noon.  They will also use nap mats.  Please label everything also - especially sippy cups.

Preschool - children in the Preschool classes (3-4 years) need to be potty-trained if at all possible.  There are no diaper changing facilities in the Preschool classrooms.  If your child is still training, please have them wear pull-ups and pack extras.  At least one extra change of clothing is important to have on hand at this age.  The easiest way is to pack extra outfits in a gallon size baggie and label the outside of the bag with your child's name.

Please check back on the blog periodically for more tips to help get ready for the year!

ZOO DAY

Remember to e-mail me if you need tickets for the zoo this Friday.  We will meet at 9:30 AM.  Parking is $5 if you do not have a membership pass.  School group tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for children.  Hope to see you there!  If you cannot attend, e-mail me, so I know those tickets are available.  If there is someone to take your tickets, I can refund you.
