- Starting in the new year, our preschool class will begin having community snacks. This will be a fun way for the children to build independence, as they’ll help set the tables, prepare and distribute the snacks, and clean up afterward. We’re asking families to sign up to bring snacks for the class for one week. You will provide snacks for 20 students for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning snack times. Monday and Friday snacks, as well as afternoon snacks, will remain individual, as usual. Click to sign up for your family’s week. Thanks!
- As the weather dips cooler, we ask that children come with attire to be outside as we try to get out at least for a few minutes each day.
- Beforecare is available in the gym from 7:30- 8:20 and aftercare from 3:30-5:00.

Hello Preschool Families!
As this was a short week we would just like to give you a heads up for our plans for our service day for MLK Day!
” 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.
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.Please bring items to school before Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 20th. Here is what they need:
- 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
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 info. on when the sale will begin. Thank you in advance for your support! “
Thank you in advance for your support and have a warm and cozy weekend!
