We hope you had a happy and restful holiday season. Welcome back!
It’s wonderful to see all the children back in school. We know the holidays are always busy, yet we had many parents volunteering their time. We thank all of you who have volunteered at The Robin’s Nest during the year. Parent participation is very important to the school and the children love it too! The children enjoyed a busy and exciting holiday season at The Robin’s Nest. On the evening of December 4th more than 500 people attended the annual Christmas program presented by Mrs. Gwynda Patterson and The Robin’s Nest children. The children had a wonderful performance. Breakfast with Santa was a fun and festive morning for children and their families on December 6. Robin’s Nest wants to thank Waffle House and Sam Norman for sponsoring our breakfast this year. We are so blessed to have such wonderful support. We would also like to thank our parent volunteers, cooks, and elves for making Breakfast with Santa a success.

 

Santa Shop

A big thank you to Jill Pearen, Jennifer Baier, Kayla Marsh, Allyson Amende, and all of our volunteers for their help with shopping, organizing, wrapping, and staffing the Santa shop. The Santa Shop would not be the success it is without you!

 

Children’s Book Release

The Robin’s Nest is very excited to announce one of our own teachers, Sylvia Karalis, who has published and released her first children’s booked titled, “Jimmy Handstand”. This is a story of care, compassion and downright wacky fun! Sylvia has received wonderful reviews on amazon.com. Bravo Mrs. Karalis!

If it is your child’s turn for snack and your child is absent or you forget to bring it, we do keep crackers and apple juice on hand for emergencies. We ask when you return that you please replenish the emergency supply in the office with a nutritional snack. Thank you!
