LOWER SCHOOL NEWSLETTER
AUGUST
2019
from Wade
Putnal
Our first two weeks have been filled with the excitement of
welcoming 62 new friends in our Lower School, meeting new teachers, seeing new
classrooms, and learning routines and expectations while having lots of fun!
I want to thank you for choosing FPDS as the school home for
your children. The teachers and I are happy to share this year with you and
yours. From getting out at carpool, to being in the classrooms, having lunch,
and playing on the playground we see smiles galore and that speaks volumes of
happy learning going on. Please let us know if we can help you with anything.
BREAKFAST 7 :30- 8:30am- Late Start Wednesdays… available to purchase in our very own VIKING
lunchroom. Great variety, made to order omelets, biscuits, and more! GREAT WAY
to start your child’s day… breakfast at school with them… give it a try. We
believe you will enjoy! Mr. Jonas Smith, our new SAGE dining director, invites
you to come check it out.
LIBRARY NEWS:
It’s almost BIRTHDAY BOOK CLUB
time! A blue flyer will be coming home in signed papers that explains how
you may participate. Mrs. Darnell has more than 300 new books to choose
from and hopes you will stop by the
Media Center during Open House on August 26th. If parents
of Wee Vikings, Pre-K, and Kindergarten students would like to participate,
feel free to stop by the library after August 26th. The new
books will be available the rest of the week. This is such a treat for
the children!
