Every year that I teach, I watch the amount of trash that we create increase. We spend a lot of time talking about how precious God's creation is and this includes our beautiful planet Earth. I would like to pose the option of using re-usable plastic cups in our classroom for snack time. This would save about 64 "Dixie cups" per week. It sounds like a lot of work, but since we have water every day, clean up will be fairly easy. Me or Mrs. Laurie could quickly wash our cups at the end of each day in antibacterial dish washing detergent and use them for a month at a time. At the end of the month, the children could bring their cups home and you could dispose of them as you wish. It could even be re-purposed one more time as a pencil cup, "Lego" or "Barbie" accessory holder or whatever else your family could dream up. Please let me know if you are interested in this idea. Send me an email or attach a note to your child's school bag. I will not pursue this idea if I do not have a majority of support from our parents.

Mrs. Laura & Mrs. Laurie
Hooray for school! We are your teachers this year and it is so easy to remember our names- Mrs. Laura & Mrs. Laurie. We have been working hard preparing our room and meeting everyone at our conferences. Our students are beautiful and say they are excited about coming to school next week. We know, however, that this can sometimes be difficult. It is has been a fun summer and leaving mom and dad for a new classroom and new faces can be a little scary.
We are so lucky that God has given us this opportunity and will work hard to make this a great year. Happy "Back To School!"

Back To School!
It is already that time of year again and we are so excited to be back at Pilgrim Community Preschool. Our classroom is ready to go and we can't wait for everyone to return to learn and share God's love. It will be a fun and exciting year with new faces and new friends. I know that it is hard to believe but time will disappear and your children will grow up right before our eyes. With the start of "big school," there is so much excitement about getting bigger and closer to kindergarten. Our prayer is for everyone to have fun as they learn in grow.
