ST. JOAN OF ARC PRESCHOOL NEWSLETTER
Thursday, October 1, 2009

The letter Dd and Number 4 don’t sound exciting but the dogs came barking and the ducks swam by quacking and the DINOSAURS were out in full force! AUGH – watch out for T-Rex.

Mrs. Moreau, Ms. Batt’s volunteer in the school library, came by to read to the Butterflies on Monday. She read our favorite book, NO DAVID!, by David Shannon. Thank you, Mrs. Moreau. Next week she will read to the Caterpillar class.

A few weeks ago I introduced Mary Ellen Dickmeyer as a volunteer on Wednesdays. Last week she brought a friend new to Indianapolis, Mandy Soffera to help at St. Joan of Arc. They love being with the children and the children love them. Their children are in high school at Bishop Chatard.
