April Fool's Day Report

After finally recalling what my password was I am able to blog!

As Jane mentioned last week, we are in need of yellow temporary tags...we are down to one.

Jocelyn,

Gwen Knepp couldn't find Mari's sticker last week. It should be on the Kindergarten sheet of labels. I'm not sure if Gwen just didn't see it on the K sheet or if it was on the wrong sheet? Just double check this before printing the labels out for Sunday.

Staci Smith requested 2 tables in the Late Preschool class. There were too many children to fit around one table to do their coloring this past Sunday.

Ed requested that the aides, even though they are assigned to a specific class, still come to the coordinators before reporting to the class they are serving. Maybe we can talk about this more at our coordinators meeting in May.

We were able to answer Mike and Lianna Kemmerer's questions, who were filling in for kindergarten, before class and as far as I know all the other teachers who were teaching for the first time had a good experience. The morning seemed to run smoothly for both them and Ed and I - no one played any April Fool's jokes on us! By the way, who wrapped Jeremy's car in saran wrap?

Lord willing, see you all Sunday.

March 18th & 25th

Quickly blogging about our two weeks as coordinators before Connie & Ed have a chance to get on here :-)

We need more yellow visitor cards. Hoping they had enough to get by today because it was pretty low.

That's all. Everything went smoothly.

Thanks, Jane

This is my notes for the past two weeks.

New ID cards needed to replace lost cards.
William and Kristin Palmer #156 -
Gloria O'Brien #139

Regarding Nursery:
Kristin Palmer would like to place Elijah in the nursery. I forgot to get info from her to get a permanent name tag for him. Could the next coordinator please get birthdate etc. to send to Jocelyn for her records.

Brendon and Easter Alburger are placing Bradley in the nursery. His birthdate is 8/11/11
They will need family ID cards and name tag made up for Bradley. No Allergies.


Regarding the Aide/Nursery Schedule:
Is there a more updated list or is the one we have in the bin the most current? Emily Shotts asked me two weeks in a row if she was on to help because she recieved an e-mail saying she was scheduled. Her name wasn't on anywhere and the past two weeks we had plenty of help.

We handed out the Bible Memory gift cards and restocked the EP gift box. We gave the gift cards to the parents to avoid the children possibly misplacing them after church. We had two more to hand out. The families were not at church on Sunday. We placed them in front of the file box.

Enjoy this beautiful week.

Hi, Galen, Teresa, Scott, Jane, Steve, Krin, Blake and Jocelyn,

This morning was quiet. Only one thing to share for future weeks...apparently the Pennview teacher who occupies the classroom we use for 5th grade is a little bummed about the way we leave her room. She has drawn a layout of her room and taped it to her dry erase board in the front of her class and expects the room to look like the drawing. The Sebras who taught in Feb. are aware of this but as we change teachers month to month we need to remember to pass the message on.

Also, several families I have not seen for awhile and I was wondering what Jocelyn or Blake's thoughts were on taking them out of our system. They are...

#221 - Moore

#197 - Coleflesh

#212 - Rose

# 212 - Koenig

#219 - Cunningham

#204 - Prosseda

Oh, yeah, one more thing...we were unable to locate the 6th grade plastic box which contains their attendance folder etc. Trish Mellinger finally found it in the supply room on a shelf. Not sure how it got there but if in future weeks, any of you can't find it, you may want to start by looking there.

Jocelyn, I couldn't find you after church so I gave the Feb. attendance papers to Julie Bell. Jeremy will bring them to the office Monday morning.

Hope you all have a good week. I believe Galen and Teresa are up next!

Sunday, February 19th

We had ample aidesand things went smoothly. Early Pre-School was under control this week but apparently last week they had a lot of criers so Steve and Krin took some aides from nursery and moved them into Early Pre-School. This option is something to keep in mind for future weeks if the same situation occurs. Nursery attendance is low right now so we have this flexibility.

Matt and Katie Witter would like to be put in the system and obtain permanent family ID cards. They put Josiah in the nursery yesterday for the first time. Josiah's birthday is 9/15/10 and he is allergic to strawberries and apricots. Their phone number is 267-664-2492.

Iris Xie would also like a permanent number and card. Her son is Jonathan Cheng. He is in 5th grade however, I failed to get any other info. for him. I will work on that next Sunday. Sorry Jocelyn.

Knaubs and Stehrs each need another set of permanent ID cards printed - both are lost.

Schwenks and Ordenanas need just one permanent ID card printed - 1 is lost.

Pretzels and animal crackers are restocked.

I checked on supplies in the supply card and they seemed fine. I would agree with Krin though that the memory verse prizes for the early and late preschoolers are a little lacking. Maybe Krin or I can purchase a few new items if that is okay with you Blake.

As far as I know, the children who were being cared for during worship as well as church did well. I did not hear anything negative. Oh, Blake, I had Justin pass out the snowman craft supplies to the Early and Late Pre-school classes during worship but forgot about checking back into this. Justin said he left the box in the Early Preschool class but I do not know if there were any supplies leftover. Sorry for forgetting about this.

Just so no one gets confused with the coordinator schedule. Ed and I will be on again this coming Sunday as we switched our Feb. dates with Krin and Steve.

Sorry this is late!

OK, blogging is definitely not my strength. I realize, after seeing Krin's post, that I never posted for either of our two weeks.

Just a couple things:

1) Brian has requested that Isaac Knaub be changed to the early preschool class.
2) Dan & Jen Herb need new ID cards
3) We are in need of new white board markers.

I agree with Krin, there has been a flux of visitors in the past few weeks. If I had remembered to post I would have noted we do need more CD's and welcome letters and snacks.

That's it! Thanks, Jane

Sunday, Feb. 5th

Sunday went fine. Had quite a few visitors with the church plant visiting us. Just a couple of notes:

• We could use more CD's and welcome letters for guests - we are down to one left.
• Connie, we have one bin of pretzels left, and no more animal crackers.
• Blake, could I purchase a few things to restock the prize bin for the preschoolers? A couple of late preschoolers said their memory verse this past week, and when I went into the prize bin, it was kinda lame.
• Jesus Arocho subbed for 2nd grade this week, and Sandra was his assistant. They didn't know about supplying snack (the kids filled them in) and so we got a bag of animal crackers out of the closet for them. Sandra was wondering if there is something to hand out to teachers who are filling in, so that they know those kind of details.
• We could use some extra encouragement cards to keep in our bin.

I think that's all for now!

Steve and Krin
