Family Night '14

Even though there haven't been recent posts, we've been busy at the preschool! We practiced (a lot) and prepared for Family Night (last Thursday) and it was a great evening with close to 180 people! (preschoolers, parents, siblings, grandparents, and others)
Here are a few pictures from that evening:

Getting all settled in for the potluck!

It's time to eat!!! Thank you to each family who brought yummy food!!

We accepted a grant check from the Hesston Community Foundation. This grant will allow us to offer scholarships to families in need starting next school year (2014-2015). We are very excited for this new opportunity.

A highlight of the evening is seeing former preschoolers. The young lady with the peach top was a preschooler in my first year of teaching at HCP 9 years ago!! The gal in the yellow I had a few years later and the youngest is a current student. So fun to see how preschooler's grow up. :)

We are all ready for our final song - Rainbow 'Round Me

.  

 It warmed my heart to hear all of the children singing during that last song. I have to admit that I almost got choked up - there's something about young children singing together that is so special. It's one of my favorite moments of the night....they really sang it well. I was pleased.
