BUSY, BUSY, BUSY day in CM!!!

Many families would like permanent tags for their kids - here they are:

• Knepps need for Mari (1-15-03) Late Pre
• Bennetts neef for Rachel (8-30-09) Nursery
• Allemans need for James (6-24-06) Late Pre & Marie (9-11-08) Nursery
• Blackshears need for Serena (11-1-09) and Celine (11-1-09) both Nursery
• Also, could Weigners be put back into system? (#164) Ezra (1-12-06) Late Pre and Noah (7-7-99) 4th Grade

The nursery was crazy. We now have 18 babies. There were 13 babies yesterday, and I felt so badly, because there were parents staying in there because I think they thought that there was just too many kids. We did get extra help, but with so many new babies entering the nursery, I really do feel that it's time to add another aide in there each week. I also would like to suggest that we move our 2 yr olds up now, instead of waiting until the fall. That would at least bring our Nursery roster down to fourteen. Those children would be:

• Jayla Blackshear
• Tyler Leyland
• Ava Prosseda (on July 10)
• Sebastian Wyble

I don't know if others are running into this problem or not, but when the Clemens are on (Chad and Sarah), there is often only one of them that shows up, and so far, we have never been informed ahead of time, which leaves us scrambling at the last minute to find someone as babies are coming. Also, Chad is sometimes on worship team which means that he needs to leave early, and we need to have someone jump in there at the end, which isn't always best for the little ones who are hanging on by a thread. Yesterday, Chad had asked Mr. Leyland to join him, which worked out fine, I just wasn't sure if he had even been cleared to work in CM (background checks and all).

And I think lastly, Deb had sent us a new Myka Knepp Aide Schedule a week or so ago, and Maddy Reed is not on that, and so now is not on the aide schedule anywhere. She says she'd still like to be, so I just wondered what we could work out there for her.

I think that's all for now. It really mostly was the nursery situation that was a frustration yesterday. And as Teresa noted last week, to have the nursery workers come back a little early, would be really helpful. With so many tiny ones in there who are now just sitting up, or needing to be held, it would just be nice to get our nursery to a more manageable level numbers-wise, and also to have an additional aide would be great. There's our two cents. = ) Have a great week guys!

Coordinators report from June 6

A quiet morning.

Faith and Mari Knepp have both been placed in the Late Preschool. Per the request of Dean and Gwen.

Regarding the Bible Memory verse check off list handed out to teachers. Galen had a variety of responses to the list. Some were thrilled, some teachers seemed to not have a clue. We thought it would be very beneficial to the children to have all teachers on board with this idea. Especially since it is a continuous running sheet, all teachers should be doing the same thing in regards to the Bible Memory.

We only had two aides show for the nursery. We had 10 babies. We pulled Olivia in as she was easily available and there were numerous crying little ones. It would be so helpful if the nursery aides came back atleast 5 min. before the dismissal of children. It would help in so many ways.

That's all for this week.

A few notes from today:

-The Nursing Mother's Room needs a new container of Similac. The one that was in there has expired and was brought to me by one of the moms.

-Ed and I plan to go to church early next Sunday to get our new "one-cart" of supplies organized for grades 1-6. Jocelyn can send out emails to the teachers of those grades this week making them aware of the change.

-Blake, are there memory verses for the next few months? The previous sheet ended in May and some teachers were inquiring. Also, if there are new verses coming out this may be a good time to print out charts for the classes, listing each student and the verses to be memorized so teachers could mark off and keep track of where each student is in the memorizing process. Even as the teachers change from month to month, there could be an awareness among them.

-The Falconeros need another Family ID card. They have one but would like a second.

-Liadan O'Mara needs to be put on the nursery list.

That's all I have! Have a great week everyone.
