Dear Touchstone Families,
We are officially in the summer swing here at Touchstone School. Campers are on their way to having many adventures. So far students have participated in weeks involving Going Green and Hands Around the World! Campers are having had a lot of fun!
Over the month of July, the themes for Summer Camp will include Tinker Around, a week of simple machines. Inventing the Future, while we explore our universe and what may beyond! Like a Champion, a week where we celebrate our community helpers. Finally STEAM squad, a week where we will focus on science, technology, engineering, art, and math. As a reminder, we do need a two week notice for any cancellations or schedule changes.
This month all of the Touchstone Schools are working with NW Children’s Outreach to help students in our community. We will be collecting new underwear, socks and hygiene items for ages 5-18 year olds. There will be a collection box located in the lobby. Please help us out if you can!
We have been having nice warm summer weather so please make sure you are sending your child to school with sunscreen applied. Teachers will reapply sunscreen after nap time (3:00) before the students go outside for recess. If you have not done so, please fill out a sunscreen form with Glenda at the front desk. To help keeps students cool we will be periodically having water play days that we will post notices about ahead of time in the school and in the daily email. Please keep an eye out for these notices!
I would also like to take this time thank families for choosing Touchstone school for camp. We appreciate all of you!
Have a great summer,
Elise West; Principal
