October Newsletter

Written By Maureen Sharp

We have been in school for a month and I, for one, am excited to be back in a routine. I hope you and your children are, too!

Reminders

  • With the weather changing soon, please remember to send in extra clothes appropriate for colder weather.

  • Please label everything, including the clothing items you send. This includes coats, mittens, hats, water bottles, lunch boxes, etc. We do the best we can to make sure your children’s things get home, but it makes things so much easier if all items you send to school have your child’s name on them.

Butter Braids

Bethlehem Preschool will be selling Butter Braids starting October 16th thru October 28th . Delivery is November 18th before the holidays.  Please note, this fundraiser is optional, as we have many families, past and present, that enjoy serving Butter Braids during the holiday season. The Butter Braids are $18.00 each. We are offering: Cinnamon Rolls w/cream cheese icing; Apple; Strawberry and Cream Cheese; Bavarian Crème w/ chocolate icing; Chocolate; and Four Cheese and Herb w/ Marinara Sauce. Order forms will be in your child’s backpack on Thursday, October 16 th . In addition to the items you want to purchase, if you have friends or family members who would like to order, please include their information on this form.
