Geneva Day School

Director’s Letter

February 2012

Dear Families, Staff and Friends of Geneva Day School,

Fabulous February is here with lots of excitement about Valentine’s Day, Presidents’ Day, class visits from dentists, possible snow, and more!  Though this is a short month, it is always full of activities to enhance the learning experiences of Geneva students!  This is the time of year that we observe lots of good progress which is always exciting!

Classes are very busy setting up winter cente0rs, skating rinks, and post offices.  Special projects are planned to remember and you on Valentine’s Day.  Classes are scheduling specific times for parties, with some scheduling special activities all day long. Check with your child’s teacher for class events and what help may still be needed.

Different classes talk about other holidays, too.  Some celebrated the Chinese New Year of the Dragon at the end of January, with Kindergartners eating lunch at a local Chinese restaurant and making colorful masks.  Our own Mr. Bullis read some Chinese stories at the local Westfield Montgomery Mall Family Fun Day, too.

March 1 and 2 will be “Dr. Seuss Days” at Geneva Day School.  We invite you and other family members to come in and read a favorite Dr. Seuss story.  Just let your child’s teacher know of your availability.  It will be a fun way to celebrate his 108^th birthday!

Registration is currently underway for the 2012-2013 school year with a number of classes full or nearly full already.  Be sure to get your application in sooner, rather than later, so that we can work with you to design the right program for you and your child.  Should a class be full at this time, please remember that we always have changes between now and the fall.  Contact the Office and speak to Amanda White, who is happy to answer your questions and try to place your child in a preferred class.  And please invite your friends who may be interested to schedule a personal tour to see the various options Geneva Day School offers for different ages.

The Totally Awesome 80’s Auction is rapidly approaching on March 24th!  Book your child sitters now and plan to come for a fun evening.  Donations are still being accepted, so think of an amazing experience or totally awesome auction item that would make an awesome addition to the auction!

We wish you a fabulous February filled with festivities and fun!

 

Warm regards,

Suzanne Funk
