Coloring Sheets

In response to the last post asking about coloring sheets - that's my fault - originally there wasn't a lesson planned for the 5th Sunday, so that's why I didn't send over sheets and when a lesson was added back in, I never sent over new ones. The sheets for April will be there this Sunday.

Thanks!

Sunday, March 29th

• Had to go in and get 2 out of 3 aides out of the service - they just plain forgot =)
• 2 out of 3 nursery aides did not show, and had never called us. Because of this, I pulled Erika Reed out of the service to be an additional aide for the morning.
• Ethan Benner needs a new blue card (#226)
• Early preschool does not feel that they need the whole printed out sheet of labels for the diaper bags. Kim Swope was saying that only a couple even bring diaper bags, so it just seems like a waste to throw most of that sheet away every week. A suggestion was to just put a blank sheet or two of labels in their red folder that they could just use as they need them. Could we let the other early preschool teachers know of this change?
• Early Preschool thru Kindergarten classes were all looking for their coloring sheets this week. Are there no coloring sheets when we have a 5th Sunday?

Over and out - Krin & Steve

K class

On Easter, Brian Knaub will replace Dave Dailey and Deb Peart. Let's use our adult aide for his partner.

Aides

Based on your feedback, I will continue to have five aides each Sunday, one an adult and one assigned to Myka.

You will see on the second Sundays that Dougie McGrath and Charlotte Coulson are both helping with Myka. Dougie will do the Sundays he is not helping with his family in 2nd grade. Charlotte will help Myka when Dougie can't.

I will find out whether Michael K. wants to be removed from the aide list. He has served for years. Maybe it's time for a break.

Another Aide Question

We have five aides each week, one of them being an adult and one being assigned to Myka Knepp. Is this too many?

Aide question

You said Michael Kemmerer didn't show up "again." Is this an ongoing pattern? Should I be replacing him? Has anybody talked to him about not being available on the fourth Sundays?

Galen and I shared the morning coordinating duties with Krin. This is a combined update.
Dean Knepp requested being put on as a helper the second Sunday of the month. He has been on the third Sunday and wasn't needed last week. He thought he could be used during the second Sunday as there were less number of aides.
We need more "Welcome to Grace" letters that are wrapped around the Awesome God CD's. Also, note change name from Kidwells to the Hughes on letter.
Need name label printed for Sebastian Wyble (Nursery).
Nursery care giver mentioned needing outlet covers in the nursery. They have had two cases of children trying to put something in the outlets. Maybe have these covers kept in the Nursery box to be installed each Sunday.
Cassady family can be removed from attendance list and name lables. They are attending Calvary.
Michael Kemmerer did not show again for aide duty.

Regarding the new Hub cards being given to the children. It would probably be a good idea to keep a list of names so that we each know who is getting them, just so that the same individuals are not getting them every week. Any thoughts on that idea. We gave to Tyler Swope, Haille Herr, Micah Bell and Brianna Clemmer. We observed good hallway conduct and classroom behaviour. Krin gave out a few as kids were going to class for having their Bibles. Two of those were Carson Reinford and Luke Miller.

Team Changes

Hello everyone,

I trust everyone is doing well on this first day of spring,

I wanted to announce a change in our coordinator’s team…I wanted to express my gratitude to Ray and Alane Kidwell for serving on the CM coordinator’s team for the past couple of years. They have really utilized their time and talents to improve our operations and relationship with our parents in the ministry. At their request, they have purposed to position themselves to hear from the Lord on future direction for their family as they wait upon Him for clarity…please join me in praying for them and expressing our gratitude for their service.

Dave and Sherri Hughes have agreed to jump into the coordinator schedule again…Dave would like to see how he can coordinate his worship team schedule with serving on the CM team, so he may request switching some Sunday’s with the rest of you. We still will be attempting to keep 4 couples in the rotation in the meantime.

Let me know if anyone would have any questions or clarifications. Don’t forget to get your free Rita’s Water Ice today…despite it being 40 degrees, its spring!!!

Changes

I found out yesterday that the 4th/5th grade has done some shuffling. The teaching schedule will now be...

March 15--Meuleners
March 22, 29, April 5, 12--Halteman
April 19, 26--Meuleners

I asked about the Preschool Activity Box yesterday. It is now making its way to the coordinators' table, but teachers are not accessing the toys. I will send a reminder that they are available, but perhaps you can offer them as well when you see the teachers? The nursery might also benefit from them.

Easter Egg Hunt

Greetings Coordinators!

Hope you are all doing well today! This is just more of a "heads up" to let you know that for the Easter Egg Hunt this year we have hired someone to put on a magic show for the kids. If you are interested, you can check out his website at http://prokidsresults.com/.

Have a great weekend!

Teacher Sign-In

Krin asked if it matters whether the teachers sign in. I think that is something we started when we were handing out stickers to everyone and registering visitors. (Remember those fun days?!) It wasn't possible for us to spot all the teachers as they entered the building. If it's a procedure that is no longer necessary, feel free to discontinue it. Does the paper even make it to the CD table anymore?

Thoughts?

Sunday, March 1, 09

We had a pretty calm day at our post today. Aides showed up except Sandra Arocho. There seemed to be a lot of sickness going around which resulted in less children in classes and we were able to send an aide back to sit in the sermon. Nursery was calm. Thanks to the Reeds, we now have a supply of animal crackers and pretzels in the storage area back rear closet.

Jocelyn, the Randolph's are requesting two new blue id cards as they have misplaced theirs. Also, Matthew O'Brien has bumped up to the 5K class. Oh, one last thing- there is only 1 more Awesome God CD left to give away to visitors.

That's all...everyone have a blessed week...
