Sunday, October 30th

Hi All -

Just a reminder (Joce, you probably totally have all of this down already) but just thought I'd mention that we can probably remove Sebastian Araujo and the Prosseda girls from the class lists, and add JJ & Susie Alleman and Grace Pampel.

Jason Alleman and his wife asked if they may move their daughter Marie (who is a little over two years old) into the late preschool class. The said she is mature, and the crying of the younger ones in early pre, makes her not want to go into class. Is this ok, Blake? If so, we can probably make the change for the new attendance sheets coming out.

I'm not sure if all of us know this, but just thought I'd mention that Joce is able to re-use the label sheets that still have good labels on them, if they are not ripped. So instead of ripping them, we can just pull off the ones that have been printed on, and when we have a nice pile accumulating in our bin, we can get them to her to be used again. Just thought I'd mention that in case some of you did not know.

Lastly, Joce, I was wondering if you could send an e-mail out to all of the teachers reminding them to encourage the kids to memorize their verses. As I was doing rounds yesterday, there were some classes that had nothing marked on the papers, so I'm wondering if things are getting overlooked, or if some teachers didn't understand the new incentive program. My Bec has mentioned that her teachers have never even mentioned the incentives to them, or checked their verses.

I think that's it for now! Thanks!

October 16th and 23rd

After so much confusion on my part, Ed and I finally arrived on the correct Sundays to fulfill our duties and all went well.

Just a few things to report...

Late preschool needs a second aide. Their is one person designated for Myka but an additional aide is needed to help with the rest of the class. If Myka is not at church on any given Sunday, his aide can be released or see if he/she is needed elsewhere.

Leanna Reinford offered to be an aide an additional time/month if needed.

Trish Mellinger told me that ONLY FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, the 6th grade will hold class on the 1st and 3rd Sundays rather than the 2nd and 4th.

That's all. Hope you're all having a joy-filled week.

coordinators report for Oct.2

A few notes from this morning.

Copier needs a new black ink cartridge, HP60.

Jared and Abby Alleman requested permanent CM cards for them and their children. They will be leaving at some point to head overseas but for now would love permanent cards. Children are JJ Alleman 8/21/07 and Susie Alleman 9/18/09.

Two aides never showed up. Sandra and Rebecca Arocho.

Matt Colefesh started teaching the first time today. He came out numerous times, could not locate anything. Are first time teachers given "guidance", "instruction" as to where "everything is located"? Galen helped him find everything, but it would of been so helpful for Matt to kind of maybe sat in with another teacher atleast once or met with someone before today. We didn't realize either, till class was almost over that he was alone. After a talk with him I did remember, vaguely seeing an e-mail from Jocelyn saying Matt would need an aide, he didn't say anything and I totally never thought about it. We told him to always ask the coordinators for an aide if his wife will not be with him.

In thinking about that e-mail I saw from Jocelyn, which I totally didn't retain in my memory, probably because we weren't on that week, even though the request for the aide is for the entire month of October, how can we follow through with something like that just to make sure an aide is available for him, especially if he forgets to ask. Unless, you are all super good at remembering from week to week Jocelyn's e-mails that might pertain to numerous weeks, I was wondering what might help. Obviously I'm blogging that he will need an aide and Jane will probably note that for next week but will the person remember in two weeks. My whole point is, would it help just to have a little clip board or something in the front of our bin with notes like that. I guess this would just apply to requests that would fall on more than one Sunday, just like Matt Coleflesh needing an aide for the entire month of October. Sorry if this is confusing.

That's it for this week. Since I'm getting this out so soon I'm probably forgetting something but if so, I'll post again.

update from Sept. 18th

A few notes from Sunday.

Please highlight Ethan Dailey's name tag for allergies.

Regarding the nursery. There was only one adult (scott silver) and three young girls in the nursery. Chad and Sarah Clemens were scheduled and I know they had sent an e-mail a while back saying they were going to be out a lot with sports on sunday's. It appears like they haven't gotten replacements. Could we check with them and see what we should do as far as keeping them on or removing their names and getting a permanent person in there place. I was hoping to relieve scott as he and bev have their hands full right now with a newborn and Aubrey's having a hard time in early preschool, so they are out a lot with her. He was fine to stay in when the clemens did not show up. But, we definatley needed to have two adults in the room. It's a lot for the young girls when the babies are fussy.

Maybe it would be good to remind all the teachers at our meeting on Oct. 9th to please try and notify the coordinators before Sunday morning if they are unable to teach. The early preschool teacher told me sunday morning she was battling a cold and was not planning on teaching. Galen and Olivia took over and filled in and it wasn't a huge problem. But, if Galen wasn't available it would of been a little more stressful.

The Reed's are filling in for us as coordinators this Sunday the 25th and we are taking there spot on Oct. 2.

Have a good week.

Reply to Sept. 4 & 11

Hi Coordinators!

Just replying to a few of Steve & Krin's notes on the last blog...

• Updates were made for Julia Smith and those entering nursery.
• That's fine about Sean's aide. For when the Loux's teach, Triston can serve the whole month and we will give the rest of the aides off. I'll inform the Loux's too and inquire if Triston would want the other months off then.
  
• The new memory verse sheets will be available to give to the teachers this Sunday and the teachers are aware of this new program.
  
• New cards were sent over.

Thanks everyone!! Have a great weekend!!

Sunday, Sept 4 & 11

Not too much to report, and move-up day went well. Just a couple of notes:

• Julia Smith's parents asked that we move her back up to the 2nd grade class after all.
• Please add David O'Brien (8-23-10) and Clayton Frank (11-17-10) to nursery roster.
• Clayton needs the highlighted tag, and note on the attendance sheets, that he has an allergy to ALL milk products.
• Blake, I had mentioned this to you on Sunday, but wanted to blog it, just in case any of the coordinators had ideas or thoughts on the Loux's question. Randy and Amy asked if Tristan could be Sean Dailey's aide for the whole month that they are teaching in class, instead of him being on once a month for Sean. Would this work, or does it mess with the schedule too much? Could we ask Sean's other aides to do a month at a time instead of being on once a month? Your thoughts?
• I've been in touch with Blake and Jocelyn this week about trying to implement our new memory verse incentive program for this Sunday. If it all goes through, hopefully the sheets will be on the coordinators table this Sunday so that they can be placed in the red binders. I think we may look to do this for K-6th grade, and keep using the trinket boxes for the pre-school classes. An e-mail will be sent out to the teachers to inform them of the program, and so that they are able to explain it to the kids.
  
• Joce, we need more encouragement cards, and also the yellow CM Visitor Cards.

That's all for now! Have a great week everyone!

Notes from Sunday:

1)The top story would be Nate Landis got hit in the eye with a toy. There was much blood and thankfully Becky happened to be in the restroom when we took Nate in to begin cleaning him up. Scott still paged Jan out of the service and Carol Rudloff and Gail Reinford manned the Coordinators table so I could assist Becky with Nate. On another note we need more of the Instant Cold Ice Packs since I used the last one yesterday. I did fill out an accident report. And just to have on record Nate is doing just fine.

2)We need more animal cookies for the nursery.

3) Jocelyn, you can remove Rachel Suerman from the Kindergarten attendance, they are now worshiping at Penn Valley Church. You can also remove Tyler & William Leyland (Nursery and 3rd grade), the Leylands are now worshiping at Calvary Church of Souderton.

That's all. Jane
