Holiday Gift Ideas

If you are looking for great gift ideas for the holidays, we have the thing for you! We still have some bears, tote bags and notecards. If you know someone who loves The Children's School, they will love one of these gifts. Just come and see me in the office.

Harvest Sale Proceeds

Thanks to all of you, the Harvest Sale was so successful that we are able to purchase some much-needed items for the children. Today I ordered three additional Angeles SilverRider Super Cycles! I also ordered a large equipment cart for the play yard, so we can keep the balls and other toys more organized. In addition, we have purchased paint and other supplies for the classrooms. During this season of thanks we are very grateful to all of you for your generosity in contributing to the success of the Harvest Sale. When all is said and done, it is all about the kids!

Storytime with Mary

We want to give a great big THANK YOU to Mary Fallis, for volunteering her time to read to the children at our school.

When Mary worked at the Stone Center she would come every other Wednesday for storytime. Now, even though she no longer works for the colleges, she makes time to come and read to the children whenever she can.

You are the best, Mary, and we love you!

Those Silly Puppets

The Puppet Show on Tuesday was a great success. All of the children were having a fun time with the silly stories that the puppets were acting out. There was much laughter in the school yard! Many thanks to the Theatre Deparment of CSUSB for bringing their Oh So Silly Animal Stories to The Children's School.

Thanksgiving Feast

It is almost time for our annual Thanksgiving Feast. The Feast will be on Wednesday, November 25, from 11:00-12:00. It will take place in our school yard.

The entire school will participate in this special event. Each cottage is responsible for preparing part of the meal. There are sign-up sheets for food donations in the sign-in areas of each cottage.

All families and friends are welcome to attend this celebration. This will be a minimum day and all students will be dismissed at noon. (No afternoon program that day.) And school will be closed Thursday and Friday of that week for our Thanksgiving holiday.

We hope you all can join us!

I Love my Job

You never know what treasure you may find waiting for you around the next corner.

Many thanks!

Our annual Harvest Time Book Sale was a resounding success! We had great participation in every way - bakers, crafters, gardeners, volunteers that worked at the sale, and of course shoppers.

Many thanks to all of you. Without you, none of this would be possible.

It was a Good Day

The first day of our Harvest Sale was busy and fun. We had a lot of yummy baked goods, healthy produce, children's books and many gift items.

We will be doing it all again tomorrow. Don't forget to come by and do some shopping and/or eating.

Thanks to all of you that contributed items for the sale.

Thank you, Central Facilities!

Many thanks to Central Facilities for providing us with a fun trick-or-treating experience on Friday. The decorations were fantastic, and a fun time was had by all!
