As we prepare for another school year, this month will be busy as we have many new friends joining us and some old friends

returning. We look forward to having new families join our KELC family and hope you will too. Please mark your

calendars for our Annual Ice Cream Social on August 11th on the corner of Maple and Pleasant from 6-8pm. See you there!

Have a great end to summer, Jeni Hoover

Back to School Tid-bit:

Don’t make these “Back to School” mistakes: 1. Mistake No. 1: Shopping at the wrong places

Buying at the dollar store may be more expensive than at

other retail stores with lower costs. 2. Mistake No. 2: Ignoring price drops after purchase

Ask for price matching or get price adjustments. 3. Mistake No. 3: Buying all the school supplies on the list

Don’t buy everything on the list for the first day. Wait till

prices get marked down after school starts, then buy

items. 4. Mistake No. 4: Shopping too early in the summer

Wait for the sales instead of trying to get ahead and get

the shopping off your “to do” list.

From the KELC Teachers:

From the Classroom:

July certainly flew by for the birds and giraffes in the classroom! The children really enjoyed all the fun activities this past

month. We enjoyed exploring Tappan Square, and the children showed us all their favorite spots including the swing, the

monument, and the bandstand! We had a visit from the Metro Parks as well. They brought a live Box Turtle. It really was a

great experience. We have also had many water days to cool off from the hot temperatures. The splash pad was a great hit

as well as just getting out the sprinkler; the children are having a blast! We are also learning a little Spanish in the classroom

as our new friend Irineu (E-di-now) has joined the class. He is joining us from Northern Spain and will be with us for a few

months. August is going to be busy with a lot of new friends starting. The beginning of the month we will have another visit

from the Metro Parks to learn about dinosaurs to finish off our study. We will also have our annual Fair trip in August. We

look forward to meeting all of our new friends and some old ones returning.

Have a great summer! Karen, Mary, Sara, Macie and Robin
