Director’s Corner… Welcome to March! It has been a chilly and rainy winter, but we are

hopeful that we have some beautiful spring weather headed our

way! If you have plans to be away during Spring Break, please stop by

the front office for an Absentee Credit form. We offer each child five

weeks of Absentee Credits each year (for children who attend full-

time and are at least 13 months of age) to be used for a 40% discount

off of their weekly tuition. Please keep in mind that any families not on Tuition Express for automatic payment withdrawal will be required to

pay the discounted tuition amount at the time that the Absentee

Credit form is submitted. For those APK and School-Age children who

will be joining us for Spring Break, we are looking forward to a week full

of visitors and special activities. Feel free to stop by the office for a full

list of all we have planned!

With the Spring season here, we are excited for some of our favorite

annual events! Be on the lookout for more information about our East-

er Egg Hunts that will take place towards the end of the month. Each

classroom will have their own time slot, and we will be in communica-

tion about the date and time that your child will be hunting! Addition-

ally, as all of us in San Antonio know, springtime also means FIESTA

time! We will be sending out information later this month about our

Float Parade, which is scheduled for April. It is a fabulous city tradition

that our school has adopted as well and it has become one of our fa-

vorites!

One of the best part about the month of March is the chance to cele-

brate Dr. Seuss’ birthday! Of course it is impossible to celebrate his

birthday without also taking time to enjoy so many of his books,

rhymes, and silly spirit. Our children love having the chance to dress up in character and create their own stories that mirror those of Dr.

Seuss. If you have any costumes, shirts, or hats that your child would

like to wear during this special time, we would love to see it. Addition-

ally, all of our time celebrating Dr. Seuss reminds us of the wonder of

books. We have such an appreciation for early literacy, and one of

the ways that children come to love reading is by sharing it by those

they love most. If you are interested in being a Guest Reader in your

child’s classroom, feel free to touch base with their teacher to coordi-

nate a time that works well. We absolutely love having parents share

in our fun each day and reading a book is a wonderful way to do

that!

method. Our Spanish words this month are “I love you”, “bird”,

“stop”, and “flag”. Please wear green on St. Patrick’s Day! We are happy to welcome Eliot to our room and send our wishes to

We will be studying the different

share various traditions and inter-esting facts about the land that

they call home. We have many slots

still open for any parents who

would like to share their own cul-

ture and customs. We would love to hear you share your story. It should

be so fun and informative! We

would like to welcome Aubreanna

and Evelyn to our class.

Congratulations…

Please join us in offering a huge kudos to Ms. Andrea for being our Teacher of the Month for March. Ms. An-

drea has rejoined our team and has made such an im-mediate, and positive impact in Room 10 with our APK

students. Ms. Andrea has an abundance of energy and is

always finding new ways to help the children stay en-gaged. She is incredibly patient and can often be found

offering reassuring words to help boost her student’s self-confidence. Any visit into Room 10 will find Ms. An-

drea giving lots of hugs and hear the sound of endless laughter. We are so thankful to have Ms. Andrea on our

team and congratulate her on a job well done!
