Ardmore Presbyterian Weekday Pre-school Press

November 2019

I am grateful to you all for coming out to Back to school night and supporting the School by purchasing books and or cards from Usborne.

Thank you to Copley Read for your hard work to set-up this beautiful event. This fundraiser helped to stock the classrooms and fulfill the teachers wish lists, additionally we raised over $300 from the card sales which will be put towards the future improvements on the playground.

Thank you all! It was wonderful to see all the support from the parents and caregivers for our annual bulb planting. We are grateful to all the parents, grandparents and caregivers. and the rain for feeding the bulbs.

Thank you to Christina Nicolosi for arranging the composting seminar and for coordinating the materials for bulb planting. The Pumpkin Farm visit to Sugartown Farms was just a perfect cloudy (rain held out) day for a hayride and pumpkin picking as well as finding our way through the hay bale maze.

For Halloween, another perfectly auspicious day We enjoyed seeing all of the children in their adorable Halloween costumes. What fun and successful parades and parties.!
