Greetings…….welcome to the wonderful month of December at Frederick Country Day. Although this is a short month, we have many school and home activities planned. On December 5th we will be offering our monthly lunch….we know that parents enjoy this respite from making those daily lunches! We also are joining the Frederick community at the annual Kris Kringle Parade the evening of December 5th. FCD staff, parents, and children will be carrying our banner downtown towards Baker Park to greet Father Christmas!
Our wonderful Kindergartners are hosting a Bake Sale on Monday, December 7th, to help defray the cost of future Kindergarten field trips. Last year this was a huge success and we hope for the same this year. A special thank you to Elaine Hurt for organizing and communicating these special events. In December another fun activity for our families will be our first Holiday Caroling for Ronald McDonald House on Friday, December 11th at 6PM in our own Dearbought community. Pizza and hot chocolate will be available before caroling, and our voices will lend support to a great cause. Bundle up and join us!
Please join us December 10th or 17th @ 10:15am – 11:00am for Toddler Tales: fingerplays, songs, stories, and movement come alive in our fabulous Rainbow Room. This is for parent and child and you can reserve a place by e-mailing us at fredcoday@mac.com or call 301-694-7000.
On Friday, December 18th, our annual Holiday Cookie Swap takes place at 9am in the FCD kitchen. More information will be going home regarding this fun tradition.
Our last day of classes for 2009 is Tuesday, December 22nd, dismissing at noon. This is followed by an afternoon of staff development, focusing on the January curriculum and planning.
Frederick Country Day will reopen on Monday, January 4th. Information on in-house registration for the 2009-2010 school year will be available that week in the weekly folder.
Finally, we are gearing up for our Saturday, January 30th Open House, for the 2009 – 2010 school year, 10am until noon. We invite you tell your friends and family to attend. Staff will be available to share in the Montessori curriculum and to show you and your child around the environment. It’s a great time to bring the whole family and any prospective families. Look for our ad in Frederick Child Magazine and in the Frederick News Post. Have a wonderful holiday season from all of the staff of Frederick Country Day Montessori School. Ms. Louise, Director
