We had a great meeting last night and it was wonderful to get to meet everyone! A few things to recap and a few things we forgot to mention:
1. Wow Butter! Use this instead of peanut butter of your kid can't live without PB&J in their lunch. I know Whole Foods has it, but some have seen it at Kroger as well. Also PeaButter
2. We need a HANDY PERSON to be on call, when something needs to be fixed, or furniture needs to be moved. Traditionally this is a dad but we are all equal-opportunity helpers in the Willow Room. Email Alison or either room parent if you can be "on call" for special projects.
3. Along those same lines: if you have a special talent that might be useful around the classroom, please let us know!
4. Scholastic book orders- for parents who aren't familiar, this is an AWESOME online book ordering system that we use in the Willow room. The way it works: Flyers will be sent home periodically advertising deals and specials. Any books we buy for our children earns us FREE, yes FREE books for the classroom. WIN, WIN! There are tons of different types of books and lots of different genres. You do not have to wait until you get a flyer to order. Place the order online, we group it under MRM, and then the books are delivered to the classroom. More info to follow. BTW, if anyone has experiencing with this and would like to head this up let us know!
5. Finally, we would love to welcome all the new families with a get together this Friday at the Shrimp Boat Park. This is very informal and I know last minute but it will give us an opportunity to hang out and get to know each other while our children play! Fun starts at 5:30 pm and If you would like, bring something to share!
