PEDP Newsletter December 2021

PEDP Families,

Back from a wonderful Thanksgiving break, we at PEDP are very busy finalizing preparations for our upcoming Annual Craft Fair next week! The kids are so excited to see their creations taking shape and all of us can’t wait to see how their hard work will serve Compassionate Care ALS.

Craft Fair 4-1-1

  • Tuesday, Dec 7 *
    • Outside doors #3 & #4 from 3:00-5:00 pm.
    • *This day will be for the larger Peirce Community–basically, those children that do not attend PEDP. We also welcome PEDP’ers who do not attend the program on Wednesday or Thursday.
  • Wed & Thurs, Dec 8 & 9
    • 1:00-5:00 pm
    • Both days will be for children enrolled in PEDP.
    • If your child does not normally attend Wednesday or Thursday, we hope that you or a sitter will bring them to shop at the fair on Tuesday.

Stay tuned for more fair details later this week!

Covid-19 Protocol 

Just a reminder of the following policy:

If my child is a close contact and participates in the Test & Stay protocols, can he/she attend PEDP? No. Currently the Test & Stay only allows for the child to attend school and it does not extend to after school (or before, as in the Early Bird program).  Don’t forget to inform PEDP if your child will be absent from the Program.

Outside at PEDP

  • When the “feels like” temperature is below 40 degrees, we require children to wear:
    • hat (a hood is not enough)
    • gloves/mittens
    • warm jacket 

IMPORTANT DATES:

  • Early Release Day: Thursday, December 9
  • No School or PEDPFriday, December 24th – Sunday, January 2 – December Recess
  • Ski/Snowboard Program begins Wednesday, January 5

Looking forward to seeing you at the Fair!!!
