What a fabulous community of families and staff!

You all make me so proud. Our staff and families worked together to provide all the trimmings for our school’s plentiful multicultural feast last night. At each table, we discussed what we are all thankful for, and helped the children write the answers for their family.
And in addition to providing the food we all enjoyed, our community of families and staff came together to donate a generous amount of non-perishable food to the local organization, “My Grandmother’s Cupboard”. As you can see from the picture, the trunk of my car was over flowing. I delivered the donated food today. It will help our local families in need to have a more plentiful holiday season.
THANK YOU to the amazing families and staff of The Peppermint Tree. Happy Holidays!

Love Rocks classroom basket_small

We had a fabulous event last night at The Peppermint Tree, sponsored by our Strengthening Families group of volunteers! Thank you to all the children, parents and staff who made it a fun and uplifting evening! Together, we created “Love Rocks”!

A basket full of them were made for each classroom (with foam,felt and fabric hearts for our Early Learners -no rocks for them!). The families all took some home, too!

“Love Rocks” are meant to encourage and inspire the proactive expression of friendship, love, thanks, or just a nice “random act of kindness”. Leave a rock as a surprise for a special friend to find, give one to say thank you…Spread love and joy, one rock at a time!

 

At the Peppermint Tree, we enjoy providing fun and enriching experiences not only for the children in our classrooms, but also for the whole family to enjoy and benefit from.  We are a Strengthening Families Center, which means we provide beneficial services and events for the whole family throughout the year.  We are a part of the national initiative “Strengthening Families Through Early Care and Education”, utilizing the research based Protective Factors to help families meet the needs of their growing children.
