There is a possible "if" to this schedule, so Tony and Chris Amaya are in the bullpen if we need them.

7/5 and 7/12 update

My deepest apologies to you all. I totally forgot to blog last week so here is an update for the past two weeks. 

We had several visitors. I handed out four or five Awesome God CDs. There are still several CDs left but none have the welcome letter with them. We need more of those printed out. 

Ed restocked the coloring sheet bins with the sheets Jocelyn provided and got rid of a LOT of old ones. Ed and I are wondering how many teachers actually use these. It seems like a waste of trees :). If anyone wants any scrap paper I've got a pile of old coloring sheets here!!

Sorry, Sherri, but there were still no takers on the Preschool activity box. 

Oh, and where are the Treats By The Tracks coupons to hand out? We couldn't find them anywhere so none have been handed out the last two weeks. However, I like the way we're keeping track of the kids who received them with the complete list of names to check off.

Well, I can't think of anything else to share with you all. It all ran pretty smoothly.

Have fun this Sunday Steve and Krin:).

Teacher Change

Emely Araujo asked to be released from CM, since she is dealing with a lot of fatigue. Kathy Felix will work with Anne O'Brien. Please be watching for her to see if she needs anything this month.

Just an FYI

If you serve on the last Sunday of the month (no, this isn't specifically directed to you, Krin : ), please give the attendance papers to Jocelyn or summarize the results and send them to her or give them to me and I'll do it. There are options galore. The main thing is for Jocelyn to be able to update the attendance records and stickers for the new month. THANK YOU!

June 21

When we arrived to church, we noticed a sticker vandal had written on kids' nametags. It didn't take much super sleuthing to apprehend two parties. (Not too many kids were there early on Sunday.) I talked to them both, and I doubt they will do it again.

The Brodishes were at church on Sunday. It was a bit awkward, since we had removed their names from the system. Dave asked if they wanted us to re-enter them; they said no.

Kelsey Halteman asked to be removed from the aide list. I will be replacing her.

During our two weeks, no one signed in as medical responders.

Only one couple even looked for the teacher sign-in sheet on Sunday. It figures! When we don't have one, they want it. When we do have one, they don't.

That was our noteworthy morning.

June 14 Recap

We had two families visit this past week for the first time. One is from the Sovereign Grace Church in San Diego. Mr. is a pastor there. The other family recently moved from Orlando, FL to Tobyhanna (sp?), PA. They had been at a SGM church and were very excited to know we are only 70 minutes away. The one family told us to be encouraged. All of their children were very happy with CM and asking to return.

We do have a sign asking parents to keep their children out of CM if they are or have recently been sick. I'm assuming everyone knows it's in the box?

I tried something new. After the bulk of registration was complete, I gave Michaiah a list of visitors' names and kids who moved up that morning. She wrote the names on the appropriate attendance sheets in the classroom. Hopefully that helped the teachers.

To prevent move-up confusion in the preschool classes, I gave cards to any children who are eligible to move up this summer. If you ever see any in the little brown box, please distribute them. I'll leave a list of these children there, too, so you know who will be moving when.

If we're short an aide some Sunday, Charlotte Coulson would like to substitute.

I weeded through the books very quickly. The nursery now has only board books.

I think we should probably bring back the teacher sign-in sheet, as Ed said earlier. Teachers were looking for it on Sunday.

Those are my random thoughts for now.
