End of year Pre-K / Kindergarten Letter

July 06, 2010 (posted by Stacey - Ridge Hill School)

Wow what a way to end such a wonderful year in the pre-kindergarten / kindergarten classroom!!!!  It was such a joy seeing 47 little happy faces dancing and singing on stage.  It is amazing how far all of the children grew in just 10 months.  They made friendships that they may have all through school, how nice is that!!  There is nothing more satisfying than seeing each child develop the confidence and skills they need to succeed in their next journey - “the big school”.  It is nice to see the children as the year went on, looking for new learning challenges - so many children were so eager to read out loud each day!!  We will surely miss all the smiling faces, funny stories and daily giggles that will now be echoing the classroom of their new school.

We hope you all have a happy, fun-filled summer and remember to keep on reading!!!

Thanks again for the chance to be a part of your child’s learning adventure!

Miss Stacey, Miss Jill, Miss Dianne, Miss Karen

End of the Year Preschool Letter to Parents

July 02, 2010 (posted by Ridge Hill School)

Dear Preschool Families of the 2009-2010 School Year,

WOW! Another school year is over. It feels like we just started our adventure as the preschool class of 2010.
As they say “time goes by when you are having fun!” and that was defiantly the case with us this year. It started
with learning all about each other, to learning what a fireman looks like and the seeing the truck he drives, to
celebrating the First Thanksgiving, Shooting off into outer space, watching the transformation from a caterpillar
to a butterfly, watching and growing our own plants and of course the fabulous “Wizard of Oz”.
The children have had fun and worked extremely hard all year. We are especially proud of their performance in June
at the Company Theater! Whenever we see the Wizard of Oz we will defiantly be thinking of all our little munchkins
singing their hearts out on stage!
We would like to thank all of the parents for your support this year, your children are very special to us and we thank
you for letting us have the opportunity to teach them. We love their funny stories, their eagerness to learn and
willingness to do new exciting things.

For those of you making the adventure to the upstairs classroom
next year, good luck and have fun! For those returning to the downstairs class, we can not wait for the new adventures
that lay ahead of us! We hope that you all have a safe and fun summer.

Sincerely,
Miss Heather, Miss Nicole, Miss Alissa and Miss Shealene
