Weekly note:

Hi parents, 

Hey look, it got warmer this week! Must be time to talk about summer camp....

No really, I get more questions about that in January than you'd think. For those of you that don't know, Evergreen has a summer camp, sort of a tangent of EverAfter, called Evergreen Summer Adventures. While we don't have registration ready for this year yet, I can say that we plan to operate for five weeks this summer: June 23-27, and July 7-Aug 1. We expect to have enrollment going by mid-February.

Last week I mentioned checking the lost and found--we are going to do a big purge on Wednesday morning, so check it Monday or Tuesday for sure! 

Looking ahead, March 3rd-7th is Evergreen's...er...March break? We used to call it February Break, but this year it's entirely in March. Anyhoo, whatever you call it, it's a full week off school for Evergreen students, and EverAfter will operate all day care each day that week. If you need to sign up, see the link on SchoolBucks. If you need to check and see if you're signed up, email me directly. We will have regular pickups from Oakley, Bell, and Haw Creek this week. 

Lastly, this is for K-1 kids only--our amazing crew has decided that every Friday will be Yoga day! Some of the kids really enjoy this, so if your kid is one of them, maybe consider not picking up until after 5:00? The Yoga effort is lead by Ms. Brandon. Brandon happens to also be a licensed Yoga instructor with much experience, not to mention her own Yoga business!

FAQ of the Week

What is the policy on kids bringing personal items and toys?

  • Items need to be able to fit seamlessly into bags/backpacks.

  • Share it with everyone, or keep it put it away.

  • Items depicting violence in any way should stay at home--goes along with our expectation that children choose games of peace.

  • Take home what you bring--don't give things away! (Applies especially to Pokèmon cards and Bei Blades!)

  • Anything brought could get dirty, ruined, or lost--is it worth the risk?

  • Books belonging to a school or county library must stay inside.

  • Any time a personal item causes any sort of disruption, for any reason, EverAfter staff may ask the child to put the item away.​
