Date: Saturday, February 3rd Time: 10:30AM-11:30AM Location: Evan's Creek Preserve (entrance off of 202) Second Annual Positive Discipline Parenting Workshop The word “discipline” is from the Latin word disciplina, meaning “instruction and training.” It is derived from the root word discere— “to learn.” Relatable for all ages, Positive Discipline is a guide for both caregivers and teachers as they support children on their journeys! Join Head of School, Angela Spayde, and Parent Coach, Julie Zivah, for an illuminating conversation about connection and community. This year will offer new insights as we discuss how Positive Discipline can inspire educators in the classroom and caregivers in the home, while helping you identify your personal parenting values. We look forward to learning in person with you! When: Thursday, February 8th from 6:30-8:15pm Where: Lily Pad, near MCH. Additional location details will be provided to those who RSVP. Please RSVP via ParentSquare. NOTE: This event is for adults only. Childcare will be offered on campus for early childhood students and older. Please RSVP for childcare when confirming. Pizza Party! Did you know that February 9th is National Pizza Day? In order to celebrate this momentous day and to spread some love, the PA is sponsoring a pizza party for all students and staff on Wednesday, February 14th! That's right, that means that you don’t need to pack lunch that day for your child(ren)! We will provide cheese pizza (including gluten-free and vegan for those with allergies/dietary restrictions), a fruit, and a vegetable. Toddlers up to middle school will be included (sorry infants), as well as staff. If you would like to opt your child out, please add your child's name and classroom to the OPT-OUT list in ParentSquare. You do not need to respond to be included, we are only asking to be informed if you would like your child to not be served pizza. If your child has an allergy or dietary restriction that is not already on record with the school, please email [email protected] to have that updated. Spring Swap is Back! Last year we up-cycled lots of clothing and books to other families within our MCH community, and donated the rest to KidVantage (formerly Eastside Baby Center) in Issaquah. We will collect items that your family has outgrown during drop off/pick up from March 18th to March 22nd. Then on Sunday, March 24 (1-3pm), all families are invited to the Sammamish Boys and Girls Club to select and pick out any available items to bring home. Anything that’s left over will be donated to local organizations. We will send out more details later, but wanted to get this message out early so you can start putting aside items that may no longer be a good fit for your family. Items included in the swap: lightly used children’s clothing (clothes, outerwear, boots, shoes, costumes), and books. Please note that toys and kids’ furniture is not included in the swap.
