In Music this week, we explored drums and xylophones playing with high and low pitch. In Chapel, we read the story of Isaac (Abraham and Sarah's son) and Rebekah getting married and having twin boys bringing Abraham's descendant count up to 3. Not quite as numerous as the stars in the sky yet but remember: God always keeps His promises, we just have to be patient!

Halloween at GBP is Wednesday and Thursday, October 29th and 30th (October 29th: MW 2s, MWF 3s and Bees, October 29: T/TH 2s, T/TH 3s and Owls). Students are invited to wear (preschool appropriate) Halloween costumes on their Halloween day. We ask that any accessories be left at home. Please drop students off in their classrooms as usual and head up to the Sanctuary. We will head up with the students for a Halloween parade at 9:15am.

After the parade, our Owls/Bees will trick-or-treat in the Town Office foyer. Our 2s and 3s will trick-or-treat inside the building. Teachers will send out class specific updates.

October/November Lunch Bunch and Enrichment links are posted below.

Calling all Vendors/Local artisans: GBP 's annual Vendor Fair is November 12th and 13th in Asbury Hall (meeting hall above the preschool). See flyer below for Vendor Application!

We have a couple openings in our 3s and 4s classes. If you know of you anyone looking for a preschool family, send them our way! We also have a couple openings in our Friday Enrichment class. Friday Frogs is open to current Bees and Owls (4s) and T/TH 3s. The class meets every Friday from 9am-12pm and is STEM based. Contact Ms. Heather to sign up or for more information.

If you arrive before noon to pick up your Owls/Bees/siblings, please remain in your vehicle so you can pull up when other parents leave.
