Panda 2 Newsletter: August 2021

Dear Panda Two Families,

Upcoming Events

Going Away Party for Edy and Joseph – This month we will be saying goodbye to two of our friends, Edy and Joseph, as they move on to greener pastures.  We will be having a going away party on Friday, August 13th.  A sign-up sheet will be posted in the lobby for those of you who would like to contribute.  Farewell, dear friends.  We will miss you!!!

Special Requests

Please provide a recent family photo for us to display in the classroom.  Photos of extended family and pets are welcome (and encouraged) too!

Reminders

It’s that time again: August wipes are due! We kindly ask that you please provide a package of 200 wipes or more for your child at the beginning of the month.  Thank you!

Sunset Academy will be closing early, at 4:00PM, on Friday, August 13th for staff training.  We ask that you please make arrangements to have your child(ren) picked up early from school on that day, as our staff will not be available after 4:00PM.  Thank you in advance, your support is greatly appreciated.

Looking ahead into next month, we would like to remind everyone that Sunset Academy will be closed on Monday, September 6th in observance of Labor Day.  We hope you all have a fun and safe Labor Day

Weather permitting, we will continue to host Splash Day on Fridays, during our regularly scheduled outdoor time (from 10:30AM to 11:30AM) throughout the month of August.  We ask that you please bring your child to school dressed in their swimwear and water-safe shoes.  Please also provide a towel and a change of clothing, including socks and shoes.  Thank you!
