Monday’s Tattler for October 22

This week at the Garden School it’s going to be in the seventies, so long pants and short sleeved shirts are the best choice!

We are still collecting for the aged. Please think of them this week while you shop. A new shirt, a nightgown, a fuzzy pair of slippers, a new tooth brush, a pretty bow…all things taken for granted by us the mobile, and such a treat for someone confined at home.

On Thursday, we will be having a visit from the State Police to do a safety awareness day. Todd Ringle, an old friend, is coming with his men to treat the kids to all the police talk they can muster for the afternoon.

This week we will have a candy day. Either fudge or caramels will grace our tongues!

On Friday, we will have a stone soup day. Stone soup is a soup made from food brought by kids and mixed in a pot. Please remember these items must be store-bought and sealed.

In Kindergarten we will be introducing a new book called “It’s Halloween.” I hope the children love this book. There is much more reading and many more new words.

One of my distant acquaintances in Uganda runs an orphanage for 600 children. Over the years, because of the generosity of our parents, we have never taken advantage of our Scholastic dollars that we have earned by having book fairs. This week, I am spending $950.00 on books from Scholastic and we are sending them to Uganda compliments of the Garden School children. More about this later!

Have a great week!

Monday’s Tattler for October 15th

Going to be a busy week! We will be starting our footie, sock and slipper collection for the nursing homes this week. So far, we have collected skin wash, shampoo, and many other wonderful products we are sure will delight the elderly.

This week on Monday, our graduate will be selling popcorn at the GS after school. Please plan to support our young troops!

On Wednesday, we will make popcorn balls for the kids…we oopsed on Friday with Fudge Day, so we will include that this Friday after the last field trip because it’s a candy kind of month!

On Thursday, we will be going to the Lollipop Concert with the Evansville Philharmonic. This is a really fun excursion. Children need to wear their school uniform shirts…we will be distributing their red hoodies that day for new kids…

We have been listening to the music that will be played at the Lollipop Concert. This year it is Peter and the Wolf. The kids are already following the music.

On Friday, we will be going to the Goebel’s Farm. This is a new farm for us. We will be taking the bus early…about 8:30. We will return after a pumpkin hunt, a hay ride etc. for a pizza party at school. School shirts and red hoodies on Friday too.

Cost for each field trip is $10.00.
