Sundays June 19 & 26

Due to a momentary lapse of memory last week, I'm blogging for both Sundays at the same time :-)

1) We are still in need of more visitor CD's. We actually only had one visitor in the past two weeks, and that was the guest speaker's family.

2) Lyndsey Stehr requested being moved off the nursery for the summer while she her foot recovers. I'm sure this is already being handled, but wanted to still make a note of it.

3) Julia Smith is in first grade, but the attendance shows her in Kindergarten, so hopefully it's not to late to change that for July.

4) Collin Moore would like a permanent ID for his daughter Boleyn Moore (DOB 1/22/06).

Other than that it was a very quiet two weeks.

The Reeds have graciously swapped dates with us to accommodate our summer vacation schedule. We will coordinate on July 10th and the Reeds will coordinate on Aug 14th for us.

Thanks, and enjoy this beautiful weather! Jane

Coordinators report from June 12

I apologize for just getting this sent today. I totally forgot about it.

There are no more visitor CD's. I handed out the last one on sunday.

Animal crackers are completely gone.

Janessa Hughes and Amy Jefferis switched as aides for this month.

Having the extra table in the hall for the stickers worked great. Galen just brought it down from the foyer and set it up in the hall against the wall. Not too close to our table to avoid congestion.

That's about it.

Coordinators report from June 5

Galen used up all the pretzels so they will need to be restocked.

Stacie Smith moved Julia into the first grade class. I did not really get a chance to speak with her regarding the move, not sure if Julia should wait to move up till September? I'll have to try and talk with her more this Sunday.

Not sure if anyone else experiences this but this past sunday was just so chaotic at our table when kids were all coming to class. We had 4 visiting families, two arrived at our table at this time to register kids. Kids were crowding around the table reaching from behind me, beside me etc. trying to get their stickers. I was feeling extremly frustrated and probably embarrased in front of these new families as it just felt somewhat rude. Elyse came up with the idea to just have another table down the hall aways before you come to our registration, with all the remaining stickers on that table. That will remove the chaotic mess at our table and allow us to deal with the aides and any questions, registrations etc. in a calm fashion :) We spoke with Blake about this and he thought it was a good idea. Any other thoughts feel free to share.

A week late...AGAIN

Sorry, I'm late, again. Just a few quick things before Connie notes anything from Mother's Day. Blake, you wanted me to remind you that we were going to try and replace any mom's serving in Nursery through Kindergarten on Mother's Day, um...well, aren't you glad you asked me to remind you :-) LOL

I want to suggest that we keep a copy of the Sunday School lessons in the file box. Two different teachers came asking for a copy last Sunday and I didn't have anything to give them. Scott gave Keith his Iphone with the lesson pulled off the internet, and Mary just improvised since she is Early Preschool.

Mari Knepp is officially moved up to the Kindergarten class. When Jocelyn gets back Mari's name tag and attendance record will need to be changed.

Ilsa Seasholtz is moving up to Early Preschool.

Salome Amaya can be added to the Early Preschool class.

And that's it!

Ciao, Jane

Sunday, April 24th

Hello Coordinators, hope you're all having a good week.

Jocelyn, I am so sorry...I forgot all about blogging until now and I know you'd like us to do it earlier in the week. Hopefully, you can still get this done for Sunday and I'll try to do better next time.

Just a few things:

Kiley Seeley moved up to Late Preschool

Carissa Seeley moved up to Early Preschool

Jason and Andrea Schwenk requested a permanent ID card. They are now #471 and they have 4 children: Johanna (11/18/03) in 1st grade

Salome (2/14/05) in Kindergarten

Jael (8/23/07) in Early Preschool

Moriah (4/11/09) in Early Preschool

Ezra (12/29/10)

Things went rather smoothly except for a little confusion regarding care of the Knepp children. Ed was told previously that Dean and Gwen were now going to schedule people to be with their kids in the gym and it was no longer going to be our responsibility but then they came back to us wondering where their helpers were. We were short Myka's assigned helper and we didn't have any spare aides because classes were large, maybe due to Easter, so our son Justin went into the gym with them along with Michaiah Hughes who just came back to the table and offered extra help if we needed it, which we did. Does this need to be discussed with the Knepps again or did Ed just misunderstand? What does anyone else know about this situation?

That's all for now. Gotta go so I can get up early to catch the royal wedding!

Good night,

Connie

Response to April 17th

Hello Coordinators,

This week Blake met with Brooke Dailey to clear up the situation from last week that Teresa blogged. We won't encourage parents separating other children in the class except their own child, as Brooke admits she did incorrectly. He also spoke with the teachers and things have been clarified for the future - there is no need to be separating the Miller's or Knaub's boys in future classes. It will be handled on a week to week basis with the parents being involved, particularly the dads. In short, everything has been clarified and resolved from last week.
Please see Blake if you have any other questions.

Thanks so much for serving so faithfully!

sorry my info came through all in one paragraph. I didn't type it like that, not sure what happened. Your challenge for the day. Deciphering all my points!!!!! Teresa
