We enter into May knowing this is the end of another wonderful year here at Little Disciples Preschool. For some families, it means the end of four, six or eight years of schooling with us and the graduation of their second or third child from LDP. You can imagine how proud we are of each and every one of our graduates.

On Monday, May 5, we will hold our Annual End of Year Family Picnic with all our families gathering at Siesta Beach. This is always a highlight for me as I get to see all the families come together for a potluck dinner and playtime. We also see many of our alumni students at this event, and enjoy a chance to reminisce over the year’s activities.

The following Monday our Graduates-to-be will come together and rehearse for their upcoming ceremony. This rehearsal will be followed by a celebration luncheon. Set up to resemble the “big school’s” cafeteria, the children will enjoy a special lunch together in Fellowship Hall. (Do we really have to let them graduate?)

Just a reminder that Wednesday, May 14th is our last day of Extended Care this year. That means there’s only a few more chances to be a part of our world-famous “lunch bunch” so come join in the fun soon!

On May 15th and 16th we will be turning the playground into a water park complete with pools and water sports. Be sure to lather those preschoolers with sunscreen, send in a beach towel and we’ll all have a soaking good time!

Our last week of school will be full of end of year parties and various activities. On Wednesday, May 21st, we will graduate 40 very grown up, very loved students. The ceremony begins at 11:00 am with a reception in the courtyard to follow. This is also our last day of school for the 2007-2008 school year.

We will enjoy six weeks of Summer Camp this year. Beginning June 2nd, these week-long camps will be available through July 25th. All sessions have a few vacancies that remain. If you are interested in joining us, please contact the preschool office soon. We hope everyone has a summer filled with adventures.

Enrollment for the 2008-2009 year continues with openings at all age levels. The office will be open various hours through the summer so be sure to stop in and say hi!

Thank you to all our wonderful families for a truly beautiful year. We hope all of our Parent Volunteers had as much fun as we did & that you will consider joining in the fun again next year. Thank you dear parents for sharing your children with us. Together we have survived booboo’s and separation anxiety and we have celebrated birthdays, loosing baby teeth, learning to tie our shoes and the birth of many beautiful new siblings (future preschoolers!). May God be with each of you ‘til we meet again.
