A Few Items of Importance


Hi Faithful Friends,

I hope you are all having a blessed day! I just wanted to check in with you on a couple of items of importance. (Note: Some items won’t apply to everyone.)

1. Just a reminder that it is extremely important to be in your classroom at least 15 minutes prior to class time. This helps so much with families who need to drop off more than one child and get to their class or the service on time.

2. Some of you may have received an email about the Spring curriculum. Just to clarify, the new curriculum starts next Sunday, March 8th. The new books will be in your rooms tomorrow. Thanks for your patience while I sorted that out!

3. I have a running list of who has turned in their updated volunteer applications. If you’re still needing to turn yours in, please do this right away. If you need another one, I can email it to you. And if you have any questions, please let me know. UPDATE – we don’t need your ADL# or SS#. Thanks so much!

4. We haven’t started the in-class security review because I decided to wait until Barb K. is back. This gives us more coverage in case someone needs a director’s help elsewhere so the director doing the review doesn’t get called away. FYI - The review is simply a short time spent in the classroom between a director and classroom volunteers reviewing our safety procedures.

5. The volunteer lanyards are getting done and should be issued soon. Yay! If you have not had your picture taken by Armin, please let me know.

6. Please continue to check in and get your computer name tag. The computer reports are kept and used to make sure that we have acceptable adult to child ratios.

7. I want to let you know that I would love to pray for any need you want to share, whether for you or someone you love! Please email me (or call) and I will pray! Also, if you would like, I can put your prayer request on the blog so whoever can, will pray with us. You can let me know if you do or don’t want it on the blog and if so, if you want it to be anonymous or have your name attached.

Well, I think this is enough for now!

Dear ones, I want you to know that I so appreciate each one of you! And I want to thank you for your outstanding service in the preschool department here at Faith. Each of you is SO important whether you are here every week or on a rotating schedule. I absolutely love serving Jesus with you!!

Joyfully,

Jackie

P.S. If you haven't received an updated Volunteer Handbook, please let me know.

Welcome James!

 
Announcing...James William Krafft! James was born Thursday at 2:46 p.m. He weighed 6 lb. 15 oz. and was 20" long. He is perfect in every way! I got to hold him at the hospital today. What a precious gift from God. Thank you, Lord, for blessing us all with this beautiful gift from your hand. Mama & Papa are proud as can be and doing good and so are big sisters, Maggie and Carlee. Welcome sweet James!

With love & thankfulness,

Jackie
