Pumpkins and more pumpkins! With nasty weather predicted for Tuesday, our field trip to Pumpkinland was postponed to Thursday. Despite the wind on Thursday, the children had a wonderful time out at Pumpkinland. The only complaint heard was, "We didn't get to stay long enough!" The Huitinks graciously let us roam their acreage as we hunted for puzzle pieces on our Scavenger Hunt, enjoyed the animals, schoolhouse and a snack. Thank you to each volunteer, leader, snack queen or helper who managed their group of children extremely well! Thank you to the bus drivers for getting us to Pumpkinland safely, too.
Thank you to Northwestern Bank for hosting a birthday party for the children with birthdays in October. It was kind of a small group of children this month. We thank the bank employees for their efforts in preparing treats, presents and fun for the children at Kids' Connection! It means so much to have you 'partner' with us!
Next week marks the beginning of November. The fruit of the Spirit is JOY! No problem there! The children will be listening to Lisa Laird and her Pockets Full of Fun puppets. We are so priveledged to be introduced to the 'new' fruit of the Spirit by her famous puppets. We look forward to the first Tuesday of each month for a puppet show by Lisa Laird!
Each fruit of the Spirit is associated with a real fruit that God created for us to enJOY. This month the real fruit for JOY is the pineapple. Thursday marks the once a month 'fruit party' along with other fruity activities!
Parents, look for new ways to donate items for the children at Kids' Connection! Donation tickets will be available in the sign out area during the month of November. We are so thankful for the generosity shown to us by your gifts to Kids' Connection! Thank you!!
