Program on "Bringing Home Baby" on 10-11-12

Hi Ladies!

Tomorrow's program will be ViviAnne Fischer speaking on "Bringing Home Baby."   Thank you Angela and Rachel for coordinating tomorrow's program.

I've asked all the teachers, except the baby's classroom teachers, to do some kind of art for the Original Works Kids Artwork Fundraiser project during PS this week.  You can get your child's artwork printed onto t-shirts, mugs, magnets, aprons, and the like while supporting PS at the same time. Next Thursday, October 18th, the art projects are due to be turned in. I have all the packets and information to hand out tomorrow. You can read the email below to get a better description of what this fundraiser is all about.

This email below is from Alex, the PSILY Coordinator regarding Original Kids Artwork Fundraiser...

This fall we are running the Original Works Kids Artwork fundraiser again to support PS I Love You!

You can get your child's artwork printed onto t-shirts, mugs, magnets, aprons and the like while supporting PS at the same time.

The Original Works program is a great way to:

    - Celebrate your child's creativity
    - Order gifts for holidays, birthdays, or any special occasion
    - Create treasured keepsakes that last a lifetime.

How it works:

This week at PS, information packets will be available with the brochure, order forms and special paper (cardstock) for you to take home.

Have your children do some terrific artwork on the paper  (crayons, markers, paint, paper collage etc).  Choose the type of item or items you want the artwork printed on.

Fill out the order form and make out a check to PS I Love You.  And bring the whole package back to me the following week to send in.

We have a pretty short window for getting artwork done (1 week)  - but we are guaranteed to get the products delivered back to us by the end of November.

So this is a great option for one-of-a-kind holiday gifts!

I've attached a flyer, a price list and some other information on the program.

Any questions?  Just ask! 

See you all tomorrow, 

Stacey

Home Project Day on 10/4/12

Hi ladies!  

This Thursday at PSILY we are scheduled for a Home Project day!  Rachel and Angela, thank you so much for all of your preparation and leading last week's parenting circle. It was such a great discussion. 

Let me know if I can make you or your child/children's experience better at PS.

Parenting Circle on 9-27

Hi Ladies!  

This Thursday at PSILY we will have a parenting circle to discuss how to "unplug," which would be lead by Angela and Rachel.  If you have any resources, books, and/or ideas to share, please bring them.  Shannon Morscheck will be leading announcements for me and she will also introduce a woman that has a research opportunity for PS moms with a monetary benefit too!  

 

We will see you on Thursday!

Last Week's Buncooooooo Night Recap!

Last Friday night Rachael hosted Bunco at her house, and it was a hoot! We met some wonderful new friends, shared some touching stories, ate some delicious food (and way too much candy) and rolled those die like CRAZY! And some of us even won some cash!

Intense!

 OOoO NO will-power when it comes to these babies!

 Look at all those losses...

All-in-all a fun evening with fellow mamas! And our very own Nicci Loscalzo took home the jackpot! Way-to-go, girl! I happened to win my $5 back because I LOST the most times!! I guess being the loser isn't always a bad thing!!!

P.S.- Fall 2012

Hello, ladies!

Welcome to the start of another wonderful Fall semester at P.S. I Love You! So far this semester is starting off extremely well and I have enjoyed getting to know some new friends while catching up with some old!

Please feel free to contact me with any information you would like posted to the blog, whether it be reminders, recipes, tips and tricks or anything else we've enjoyed or learned while at P.S. that you would like to share.

Thank you all for making P.S. the wonderful program that it is and for allowing one another to receive some adult interaction, quality conversation, and sanity!!

Here's to a fabulous Fall!

Warmly,
Shannon

Book Talks this Thursday

Hello ladies!

If the weather and roads permit, we will be having a parenting circle this week about our favorite mama books. Please bring your favorite parenting resource book to share with us (we are going to be mean and say no Love & Logic this time, since we've talked about it quite a bit in the last year). And, if you could also bring a favorite kid book--either a baby board book you still are miraculously not sick of, toddler-friendly book, first chapter book...whatever leaps to mind as an all-time favorite.

We will be taking a few minutes to share our book finds with each other, so please bring a pen and piece of paper to jot things down. If this weather keeps up, we will all have to stock up on books to keep our kids from turning to indoor goo.

Tiffany & Carli

Please join us at PS I Love You, held at the Simpson Methodist Church. You have the option of attending Tuesday or Thursday mornings. Priority deadline for fall registration is by Aug 20 and the first day of PS starts Sept 9. There are still spots available for both Tuesday and Thursday PS I Love You.
