Fundraising Update A big thanks is in order to all the families who supported the Win Win ticket sales. The Queens Park Preschool sold all of our 40 booklets – which resulted in a profit of $320 – yay parents! Here is a little update on the up and coming: 1. Clothing bags – we are doing very well with this fundraiser and will continue to collect clothing bags on the first Monday (drop off at the preschool) and Tuesday for delivery Wednesday morning.

They would also appreciate donations of gift cards that they will use towards: Purchasing simple snack supplies/bathroom supplies for the programs that they offer Purchasing age-appropriate small toys (that will be given as gifts) and food for the Family Place Christmas Party that is offered to families that attend their programs Gift-cards that can be given to families in need, to purchase their own family groceries If you wish to donate a gift card, Family Place suggests that the following stores would be the most useful: Safeway, Save-On-Foods […]

I hope your Queens Park Preschool (QPP) experience is good so far. Students and parents in the four year old classes have settled back in. The three year old’s have completed their gradual entry and are now attending full-time two days a week. And a little feedback from my son – he loves his teachers, the sandbox and the water-tube-plaything.
