Moms' Time Notes - May 10, 2013


Enrollment:
·       The date for enrollment and re-enrollment for PSP for the 2013-2014 school year will probably not last until June 15, because the spots are filling up quickly. The number of Master’s Kids moms in PSP is full. Grades K-1 has 27 students and a waiting list. Grades 2-8 are still open, for a little longer. 
Advancement Night:
·       Advancement will take place in the Worship Center as the Family Center (gym) will be closed indefinitely for renovation. The reception will be held in the plaza.
·       Practice for Advancement Night will take place on Tuesday, May 28th starting at 9am. Everyone needs to work that day! All children should be in uniform. Bring lunches. If your student is not in grade 6 or 8, expect to leave around noon.
·       Clean up crew after Advancement Night involves everyone who has a graduate. Please plan to take a second car, if necessary, so someone can stay to help.
·       Will Moneymaker will set up a “studio” at graduation to take family photographs before and after the ceremony.
·       Paper bags with the names of each of the graduates are on the moms’ table, near the mailboxes. If you know a graduate, were ever their Cubbies or Awana leader, Sunday School teacher, friend, etc.  please consider jotting down a note of encouragement on one of the red, white or blue papers. Let’s fill their bags with fun!
·       $12 was due to Lisa A. for advancement night food and $15 to Char M. for graduate gifts on May 10th.  

Winding down the School Year:
·       Paperwork due to Kristen H. on May 28th:
o   Report cards
o   Attendance forms (more than 170 days total)
o   Course of Study form
·       Continue memorizing Psalm 145! Persevere! This Friday we will be wrapping up our study in Choosing Gratitude by Nancy deMoss.
·       Used Curriculum Sale: there is still room to sign up to sell or to work.  Please see moms’ table.
·       This Friday, May 17th, is the last day for afternoon classes. The Grace Grille will be open.
·       On May 24th is the Moms Luncheon. Please sign up to bring an item or to decorate a table.
·       Please RSVP online for the PSP Farewell Picnic to be held at Veterans’ Park at 11am on Saturday, May 25. Bring the whole family!

Plans for PSP 2013-14:
·       Faith Christian PSP will be a true co-op with no outside paid teachers. Please commit to being on campus every Friday to serve. Doctors’ appts, errands, etc. will need to be made outside of Friday mornings.  We will share the blessings of fellowship as we serve together.
·       Please review the application form for specific guidelines.
·       All parents should be active members at Grace Community Church who are in the fold and can be shepherded by a spiritual leader (pastor, Bible Study leader, Sunday School Superintendent, etc.). Many resources are available if you have needs.
·       All classes for 2013-14 are free. The teachers of the classes will present information on Friday, May 17th.  Many classes will not require purchasing specific curriculum. Supply fees are not exact yet, but teachers will give an estimate.
·       Moms in a specific service positions will have a partner who can step in for them in case of illness, etc. Each Master’s Kids mom will choose a service position, including helping in afternoon classes.
·       Students must be enrolled in a class for each time slot before lunch. Afternoon classes are optional for all families.
·       Nursery care is for immediate children of PSP families only.  Please do not bring any other children to be placed in the nursery. 

·       Further details on the tentative class schedule for next year (subject to change):
·       Still looking for help with Games class. Please let us know if interested.
