MLK Jr. Day of Service at Wheeling Country Day School embodies the spirit of community and action, inspiring students to make a difference in the lives of others. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?'” This day reminds us that even the youngest among us can contribute meaningfully to building a better world.
Early Childhood, Preschool/ Junior Kindergarten/ Senior Kindergarten, will be collecting hygiene items for Laughlin Chapel. Laughlin Chapel has been an active community center in Wheeling providing various programs for local young ones. These programs include after school care, meals, transportation and much more. This nonprofit organization offers these programs free of charge to those in need. To keep MLK’s giving spirit going, we decided to collect the following items to help keep their children clean and healthy.
The early childhood classes will also be holding our annual button sale with proceeds supporting Laughlin Chapel. Right now the children are in the process of creating the buttons. Stay tuned for more information on when the sale will begin. Thank you in advance for your constant support!
Please bring items to school before Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 20th:
- 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner (16 oz average size-not travel or mega)
- Dove soap-unscented
- Disposable razors
- Deodorant-preferable neutral (Ok for either gender)
- Chapstick
- Hair brushes
- Toilet paper
Last week we left one another teary-eyed, but cheerful and we reunited just the same. We hope your break was filled with lots of family time, yummy food, laughter, and love. We missed every single one of these kiddos and we’re so happy to have them back with us! While this week was short and cold it was magical nonetheless. We loved hearing the stories about all the adventures everyone took during our time apart and the beautiful memories they made with family. That’s what it’s all about!! We can hardly believe that it’s a new year and our school year is just about half way through. We can’t wait to create more magic than before continue to build our brains!
The snow hit us by surprise, but it’s good thing that we love surprises! In preparation for more snow to come, please be sure to send your child in with snow gear. This includes: a snowsuit/snow pants, waterproof gloves, snow boots, a hat, and extra clothes. When we get a good snow like the one we had today, please feel free to bring in your sleds! We just kindly ask that your child’s name is written on it and they don’t mind sharing with friends.
Have a wonderful, Winter Wonderland, weekend!
Miss Tylar & Miss Gina
