Text messages...

As of last night, we hope to have the texting issues solved. But we need your help:

·         Please let us know if the texting/email notifications are working tomorrow (if your child comes to Kids’ Connection tomorrow) or not working

·         Please do not reply to the texts or emails because the program is not available for replies

Your child may not walk to Kids’ Connection from the schools. We have buses available for your child to arrive safely at Kids’ Connection. If you as a parent send me an email or give me a note that your child is allowed to walk to Kids’ Connection from school, it’s allowed, but otherwise your child needs to ride the church buses to church. Yesterday several 3^rd and 4^th graders walked from school, bought donuts at the bakery and joined us after that. No one knows where your child is if he/she decides to walk from school to Kids’ Connection without permission. Please use the buses for safety!!!

Remember that permission slips for the fishing trip are due this next week and the t-shirt orders with payment are due September 27.

Thanks so much!!!

CAR WASH, Tuesday, September 11

Parents,
We had a wonderful, busy first week at Kids' Connection! Thanks for your patience when picking up your children to take them home. Your children have been SO patient while waiting in line to check in and have shown respect and kindness to others.

CAR WASH next Tuesday-have your child bring an old wash cloth, clothes and shoes that can get wet, and your vehicle to wash. The CAR WASH will

take place on the FRC North parking lot, entrance on the east side, exit on the west side 4pm-5pm-ish. Come out and support the Winnebago Reformed Church with a freewill offering. Drive with EXTREME caution!!

Many of you have mentioned that you are not receiving a text from Kids' Connection. Please give us time to work with our new system and figure out why this is not happening.

Enjoy your weekend!
