I'm excited to welcome your families to our summer playdates for our incoming TK and Kindergarten students. We have three playdates scheduled throughout the summer with details below. One will be at the beach, and two at a local park. You are welcome to join in any or all of them that fit your schedule. These playdates are a great opportunity to meet other Calabash families, ask any questions you may have, and give the kids a soft transition into school. At the park, we will have some organized ice-breaker games for the kids as well. Please see the schedule below! A few notes:
The PTO will be at all the playdates, wearing our red Calabash shirts.
If your kids have red shirts, it would be great if they could wear them so we can easily identify our group. We will also be selling our Calabash spirit wear at the park. Most of the kids end up wanting to change into them right away, and it brings a wonderful sense of instant school spirit to the playdates.
When you arrive for the park playdates, we'll give the kids name tags to wear so we can all start to learn names.
Siblings welcome -- these playdates are for the entire family.
Be sure to pack drinks, snacks and/or lunch for your family so you can stay and play as long as you want.
Additionally, I am happy to share that TK/KINDER ORIENTATION for all incoming TK/Kinder students and their parents will be on Friday, August 12th @ 1:00PM at Calabash. This is where students will learn who their teacher is and meet them for the first time, get to tour their new classrooms with their parents, and see our Kinder yard from the inside. Our third playdate at the beach is being held after TK/Kinder Orientation, but before school starts, to give our families the added benefit of being able to meet and talk to other families who will be in the same class as their child. More details about Orientation will come from the school and PTO as it approaches.
We're looking forward to meeting all of our new (and some returning) Calabash families this summer!
Best,
Kate Eisenberg
