St. Francis of Assisi’s Preschool & Pre-K 2017

Welcome & September Newsletter

Welcome to the start of the 2016-2017 school year! My name is Cheri Martinson. I have been the Early Childhood/Pre-K Director here at St. Francis for the past 10 years and I truly feel it is my “second family”. When I refer to my “kids”, I am not necessarily referring to my own four children. I have great love for your children. My goal is for our program to be a place where your child is comfortable and feels free to explore and express their feelings, needs and capabilities. Most of all I want it to be a place where he or she; loves to be and learns about Jesus and how much God loves them! Please feel free to come to me at any time with questions, concerns, ideas etc. In order to best serve you as the primary educator of your family, I feel that it is important to keep the lines of communication open. This is the best way to ensure that your child’s Pre-K experience is a positive one! This is the Pre-K monthly newsletter. This is the place where you will find Pre-K program information, monthly events and important dates! Each teacher will send home specific class details weekly.
