Field Trip

Pilgrim Christian Day School (PCDS)

Volume 9 Issue 13

January 26, 2017

The Plan for our February Field trip was to go on a Ski—Trip. However, interest in the trip (based on our survey) was low. As a result we are moving to Plan B: Ice Skating at Reisterstown Sportsplex (401 Mitchell Drive, Reisterstown, MD 21136).
On Wednesday, February 22nd.
The cost per student is $25.00. However, we are kicking-off a fundraiser “KidsStuff Books” to support the field trip. 100% of the cost of the filed trip can be off-set by participating in the fundraiser! Information on the fundraiser will be sent home Monday, January 30th.

January 27, Staff Development, School Closed
February 20, Presidents Day, School Closed
February 22, Field Trip (Ice Skating)

Student friendly for all grades (Pk—5th).
PK students will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

School Uniform

Wearing the correct uniform
Teaching them the meaning of uniform (standardized, unvarying, the same, consistent)
We believe that school uniforms serve to enhance the quality of school life and can be a source of pride and help promote student discipline. On the other hand, we believe that having a requirement for uniforms without enforcing standards is ineffectual in producing the desired result. As such, we continue to remind parents/guardians that it is important that student dress conforms to our uniform guidelines. The guidelines are described on page 7 of the PCDS Parent Handbook. We thank you in advance for your support.

To encourage wearing the correct uniform, during the second half of the school year, we will have random uniform spirit days where we will checks to see how well the uniform policy is being adhered to.

Looking Ahead

Re-enrollment for Next Year
We are planning for the 2017—2018 school year. An important step is determining the re-enrollment for the next school year. In that regard, in early February we will send home re-enrollment applications for the 2017—2018 school year. We look forward to all of our Pilgrim family returning next year (of course with the exception of the 5th grade).

Prayer Corner

Please pray for the following situations and concerns:
That we share the Good News of God’s gift with others ,
That we may reflect on our many blessings and thank God for them,

That those who are ill will find healing,
That those less fortunate than we will be blessed with the things that they need, and
That we may grow in grace and use our talents to extend God’s love and mercy.

Week before Thanksgiving, I limp around real strange. Huddle in the corner, As though I have the mange. All the other turkeys, Just gobble, gobble on. I'm silent, and I act As if my gobbler's gone. Everyone is thankful On Thanksgiving Day. Friday it's forgotten. You all go on your way. I know what thankful is So listen when I say. "It's great to be a turkey, After Thanksgiving Day.
