2. Class Art Projects: We wanted to give a heartfelt thank-you to all our teachers and especially our professional in-school artist Mariola Staines at Meridian Campus!! Ms. Mariola has been paramount in getting these adorable art gems ready in time for the big event! Thank you, Ms. Mariola! The class pottery projects are truly FANTASTIC!! If you are unable to attend the auction, yet would like to bid on a class project, starting Monday we will have bid sheets and envelopes available. Don’t let these keepsakes pass you by!
3. No Early Closure on April 30th: Although the calendar states we will be closed to help set up for the auction, we will NOT be closing early on Friday, April 30th! Parent volunteers thought that the child-care might be helpful so they can roll up their sleeves without their little ones underfoot! Thanks, Parents!!!!! If you are interested in helping, CHAF still is happily accepting volunteers! amandaw@me.com.
4. 5/5 & 5/6 Mother’s Day Teas at Meridian Campus: It’s almost Mother’s Day and The Children’s Hour Academy would love to honor all of our outstanding moms! Please join us for a special Tea Social on May 5th at 3pm for the classes of Alex, Felicia, Dica, and Mariola. On May 6th at 3pm, we will be celebrating Mother’s Day with the classes of Sally Ann, Gina, Sally Jo and Hayley. Let’s give our praise to our moms!
5. 5/4 and 5/5 Mother’s Day Breakfast at Jean Road: Let’s celebrate those fabulous, busy moms with a Mother’s Day Breakfast from 7-9am at Jean Road! We’re offering the breakfast a few mornings to give more flexibility. Happy Mother’s Day!
6. Exciting news regarding Jean Road: Patty and John had a telephone conversation with the property owners of Jean Road this weekend. They have expressed interest in remodeling and expanding the Jean Road Campus! (He mentioned adding modular classrooms for the children to accommodate them during construction.) Of course, we still need approval from Lake Oswego, but won’t it be nice to have a facelift and more room?
7. Mad About Science Summer Program: Want to invite a friend to join your children for a week or two this summer? This summer, we will provide a unique opportunity for non-CHA members to enroll in summer camps for limited sessions. Our Summer Program explores Science though art, P.E., sensory activities, cooking, and of course, EXPERIMENTS! Our specific themed programs by individual week is attached. Let the “mad scientists” emerge!! Interested? Please contact Michelle or Susan at the Meridian Campus.
8. Lost and Found: Please check the very large assortment of clothes in the Meridian Campus Lobby for your child’s misplaced items. We will be donating all clothes left at the end of next week to a worthwhile charity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
9. Free Dress Days: On the days that students have their classes’ Mother’s Day Teas, children will NOT be required to wear uniforms. Let’s honor our mothers and dress our best!
