Hello, WONDER-ful parents!
Well, we are MARCHing right along into the year! Soon enough this in-like-a-lion month will be out like a lamb and we will welcome spring! Ha. Wishful thinking. I can’t feel my toes. But while we wait for that first breath of warm weather, don’t forget that we are celebrating Literature Week at the beginning of the month! Parents are encouraged to come in and read to the whole class if you don’t you are shortchanging your children and no it doesn’t count toward your volunteer hours. The highlight of the week is always Dress as Your Favorite Literary Character Day, so we look forward to seeing your little Harry Potters and Alice in Wonderlands! And no, PJ Masks are not literary characters, I don’t care how many books of theirs your kid has. Stick to the rules.
Also, don’t forget St. Patrick’s Day! I know you won’t, this is Massachussetts. Send your kid to school in green clothes, lest they get pinched! Just kidding, we don’t allow pinching. Any kid caught pinching will end up in the calm down corner . . . but green clothes, just in case.
And mark your calendars for the Parent Association meeting on the first Wednesday of the month! The Family Fun Fest is a little over a month away, and we will be handing out assignments for volunteers on a first come, first serve basis! So if you don’t want to be stuck cleaning up the puke behind the cotton candy machine, better show your face at the meeting. Also, our exhausting annoying bitchy clueless indomitable leader, Shanna Stone, has an exciting announcement to make, so attendance is highly recommended!
We will also be addressing the recent contagion that has infected our school. That scourge we no doubt all know and love by now: the word “poopybutt.” We have been assured by Ms. Anna and all of the teachers that this is a normal developmental moment in a child’s vocabulary and expression, and that they all eventually learn insults such as “poopybutt” from other kids. Whatever. If I find out it was your kid who taught my kid “poopybutt” I swear to god I am GOING TO COME FOR YOU.
Ms. Anna and the Tadpole Room’s Ms. Rosie will be on hand at this month’s Parent Association meeting to address parent concerns related to “poopybutt,” and discuss strategies to return our children to a more loving form of self-expression.
It was your kid, wasn’t it, Terry? They’ve got older siblings, learned it from them? I AM GOING TO KILL YOU TERRY.
Together in Parenting!
