Come One! Come All! St. Michael's Day School Family Work Day

 
WHAT:
You are cordially invited to hang out at the school to help us prune, rake, sweep, paint, clean, organize, and otherwise spruce up our space all while enjoying fellowship, laughs, family, friends, God's beautiful backyard, and the satisfaction that you have improved your child's school!


WHEN:
Saturday, February 9th from 10am until 2pm


WHERE:

The school, silly!


RSVP:
Please sign up on the table in front of your child's classroom and indicate
(a) how many people will be attending and
(b) what tools/supplies you can bring to help out!

We plan to feed you LUNCH so we need to know how many bellies to fill!



One of the many beautiful things about St. Michael's is that it feels like family. The directors and teachers truly love the children that enter our doors every morning. We seek to not only teach them but to make them feel cherished. Our family is holding a work day. Perhaps your own family has these days too. Days when everyone in the family pitches in to help make their home look as wonderful as it feels.


On Saturday, February 9th we will gather to shine the penny that is our school. A few of the things we hope to do are listed below. We hope you will feel welcome to come and pitch in. We want you to know that this day is a great time to visit with other families and with the staff of the school. Take the time to ask your child's teacher what they have been up to in class. Get the scoop on why they came home buzzing about "water beads" or sticking their feet into cotton balls or playing with Jell-O. Get to know the child your child is always talking about. Make plans with another family to have a future play date.


Most of all, help us to improve the place where your child learns and plays!


Thank you!
