Good Morning!

There's a snow storm in New York. That's exciting. It means we are finally leaving summer behind and entering the lovely "darker" seasons. It's great for the kids to experience such wonderful seasonal changes. As you have probably noticed, the leaves are just beginning to change. I remember when they were pretty much down by Halloween, and we tromped through them on the way from door to door. Such an exciting time !!

Yesterday Miss Amy tirelessly kicked off the fund raiser. She has done a fantastic job finding just the right thing, and we are all very excited by all her efforts. This is what makes the GS a wonderful place to be. It's what I always call the "care taking" element. The GS has always been a safe haven for many people at many times. We built our little school with the idea that it was more than a school. It was a "place to be" for families. That's why we do the parties and the picnics and the field trips. A child's life is greater than any one of those things, and so those things become a part of a child's life, which in turn is part of a family. We serve families and that's our mission.

The fund raiser helps our little place with the extras we couldn't afford otherwise, and having someone as warm and happy and enthusiastic and brilliant as our Miss Amy makes the school the kind of place people want to be a part of and that's what makes it a success.

Please take note of your children's art around the school. You are welcome to take it home on Friday after the party. If you don't collect it, we will send it home on Monday.

Goblins!
