PAT NEWS
Parents as Teachers families have been very busy. In October we had a “Fall Fun” group meeting
and the children made some wonderful crafts.
In November we partnered up with the Elementary and got involved with
Reading Week. Each child had a packet
to work on and they received prizes at the end of the week for doing the
activities and reading. What a great
time we had! On December 15th we will
be having “Santa’s Workshop” from 6:00-7:30 p.m. Santa will be stopping by to visit the children. I will be sending registration forms in a
few weeks.
If you would like to enroll your child in Parents as
Teachers or would like more information, please contact me at school,
660-323-5272 ext. 33.

make calls to families to determine plans for the children who were scheduled
to attend after-school. For information
