Dear SCPC Parents,
Welcome!! Tonight’s fundraiser promises to be a very exciting evening
for everyone! It’s always fun to have an opportunity for parents to get
together and a chance to visit with friends and alumni – and
ride a mechanical bull!
We really appreciate all the hard work you parents do each
year to make the school so successful. It is such a pleasure
to work in an environment where everyone is committed to
making their child’s school such a positive experience. Ann and
I are forever impressed with all the countless hours parents put into
our school to keep it running smoothly.
The idea for SCPC began in 1973 when a group of parents got together to discuss
the need for a preschool in the community. The first class was held the following
school year and we moved into our present building in 1976. Since that time, SCPC
has been a mainstay in the community. Our mantra “Learning through Play” is as
true today as it was almost 40 years ago. While society has changed a lot over
the last 40 years, a child’s need to explore their environment and nurture
relationships has not. Yet SCPC has always been so much more than just
a preschool. By creating a co-operative preschool all those years ago,
parents have the opportunity to share in their children’s learning
experiences and create friendships of their own. Being a parent of a
preschooler is a demanding job. It is amazing what the effect of even
a ten minute “adult” conversation during drop-off can have on the rest
of your day – or better yet, the chance to work in the classroom and
watch your child make new friends. I had the same experiences when
our children attended SCPC many years ago and still enjoy the friendships
we made here. Our children also feel a special connection with their friends from
preschool days. Another amazing thing about SCPC is how many parents leave the
school and continue to be very active in the community. Whether it’s the P.T.A.,
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, D.A.A, or any other community group, there are
usually SCPC alumni involved.
As always, we have enjoyed teaching your children and watching them
grow this year. We look forward to their big hugs and smiles each day!
Working with young children guarantees that no two days will ever
be the same. We hope you all have as much fun at school as we do!
We look forward to tonight’s festivities and hope that everyone
has a “whale of a time” and as Mr. Campbell always says,
“Bid high and bid often!”
Love,
Miss Barbara and Miss Ann
