Last day Scholastic orders

Today is last day to order Scholastic online!

Wednesdays

Okay, this post isn't really for you but for any friends you may have who would like one day of preschool for their child.

FCC MDO is expanding with a one day program on Wednesdays in January. The hours will be 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM and tuition will be $75 per month.

Unfortunately, by state law none of you can tack on another day! This will simply be a one-day program. Our goal is to expand to two two-days by fall of 2011. Next year's option will be Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs.

Of course, we have to have the numbers to make this work, so please spread the word if you will to any friends who may be looking for a one-day or are currently going two days someplace else and would like that third day of preschool.

Teachers and curriculum will remain the same!

Scholastic

Reminder that September 20 is the last day to order Scholastic books online. Tomorrow the 16th is last day to turn in a form to us if you want to order that way.

To order online:

Go to www.Scholastic.com/bookclubs

Go to First Time Registration

Create your own username and password

Use the one-time Class Activation Code - GPTH7

I will finish out the order on September 21 and books should arrive at FCC in less than a week. We will then sort and distribute.

Thanks so much for helping us build our library! We will receive ten free books this month just for placing an order!

Muffins with Mom

Join us for our Muffins with Mom morning on Thursday, September 23 from 9:00 - 9:45 AM. We will have coffee, juice and muffins and spend some time getting to know teachers and other moms in your child's class. If mom can't come that day, feel free to send dad, grandmother or other important person in your child's life.

Toddler 1 and 2 - will meet in their respective rooms

Preschool and Pre-K will meet all together in the four-plex (chapel area and Pre-K classroom areas)

Nursery - we are still working on logistics - more info to come.

If you have two children in two different classes, you can split the time between both or send a loved one for each child.

Inkjet Cartridges

We try our best to limit the fundraising at FCC MDO, but we are always looking for ways to off-set some of our expenses to offer more to you, and of course, we are always raising money for our playground. We have plans to relocate the fence this month, and then we will start the process of looking for affordable playground equipment. Affordable is the difficult part!

We have just a few fundraisers in the planning stages. Two of those will be ongoing. One is the Kroger cards with which you may already be familiar, and the other involves collecting your used inkjet cartridges. I will send more information about the Kroger cards next week. We will begin collecting your old inkjet cartridges (any type) next week with a box in the foyer by the MDO shelves of the bookcase. If you normally just toss them, we would ask that you instead bring them to MDO and give them to us!

Moving On After Moving In

Encouragement for women going through the transition and adjustment to a move. A powerful hands-on class using Biblical principles and practical how-tos.

**There will be flyers in the foyer on the MDO shelf if you are interested. This class began last year at FCC and was quite successful. You may also ask Ms. Joyce (teaches our chapel on Thursdays) questions about the series.
