Affirmations Abound – We are in the middle of an affirmation festival here at school. There has been a flurry of affirmations being passed around the building. With the class parties and reading buddies set for later today, it looks like another special day at Friends.
Basketball News – After getting overpowered by Meadowbrook Christian last week, the Friends School/Nittany Christian team has spent the past week in practice. We are preparing for the home stretch with four games in the next two weeks. Our spirits and expectations are high. Our final game will be at home on February 25th. Details will be provided.
Reminders
Two of a Kind Concert - An award-winning husband-wife duo will perform a free concert for families and children of all ages on Saturday, February 13th, at 11:00 a.m. in our Community Room. Two of Kind (www.twoofakind.com) performances feature songs, puppets, movement, and stories. All are welcome. Donations of food or funds for the State College Food Bank will be accepted.
Open House and Winter Play Day - Friends School is hosting a Saturday Play Day and Open House for children and parents on Saturday, February 20th, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. The school’s community room and k/1 classroom will be open for supervised active and imaginative play and staff will be available to provide tours and answer questions. The event is free and all are welcome. We would welcome a few volunteers to hang posters around town this week and serve as tour guides on Saturday morning. Please let Dan or Mary know if you can lend a hand.
School Closing Information – This week our school closing announcement did not make it onto the WPSU website. Despite our best efforts to properly announce school closings and delays, there is always a possibility that it will be missed by a media outlet. Please note that the school, in most cases, will follow the lead of the State College Area School District. When there is a closing or delay we notify most local radio stations, both news stations, and WPSU. We also change our voice mail message on the phone so you can call the school to check.
Volunteers Needed – We would love to have a parent(s) to drop off the fleece blankets that the children made at the hospital and some decorated meal bags to the Meals on Wheels Kitchen. Please see Diane to help.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Dan
