Praise Him, Praise Him, All You Little Children!


The love and excitement that you see on these faces was mirrored in the faces of the "big kids" in the audience. I say "big kids" because grandmas, grandpas and grandfriends were standing and waving with two hands just as eagerly as these precious children. Our pictures just don't do justice to the praise time we had, together with our grandparents/grandfriends, on Thursday morning. 

If you would like to be a fly on the wall (as a stay-at-home parent, I was always curious what all the hubbub was about) please enjoy this little clip

Please send me an email if you'd like a copy of our entire 20 minutes. Again, we thank you for sharing your little ones with us. They bless us every day!

Parent Team Thank you!
Thank you to our parent team for feeding our hungry grandparents some yummy cookies and refueling them with some much needed caffeine. Our cookie stations were beautifully decorated and our parent team helped welcome our grandfriends with a smile and helpful directions. Thank you for your support!

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parents are now able to sign up for parent/teacher conferences at this link using Virtual Paragon. We look forward to talking with you about your child's growth and development.

Kevin Kammeraad
We will welcome local author, Kevin Kammeraad to South Side on Tuesday, October 21st, from 10:30-11:30.  Kevin visited us last year with his friends and music that produced lots of giggles and smiles among students (and staff). His program inspires creativity and "outside of the box" thinking in our children. 

Swimming Lessons
Swimming lessons at the Holland Aquatic Center will begin for our second graders, first graders and 5-day kindergarteners on Monday, November 10. Lessons will be held every day until November 21. More specific details will be forthcoming.

Child's Medical Plan
If your child has a medical plan on file at school or has the need to have medication administered at school, we need a medical plan form updated from your doctor each year. Please bring the updated form or a doctor's instruction form to the office.

Preschool Happenings
Remember to mark your calendar for this year's Father's Night to be held on Friday, November 7th beginning at 5:30.  More details will be coming your way.
