Signatures Needed

In October we need your help updating and reviewing your forms. Please stop by the front desk to complete this process. It will take about 5 minutes of your time. Unfortunately we cannot send the forms home. If you complete this task by October 9th you will receive 1 volunteer hour.

Halloween

Growing Tree will celebrate Halloween on Friday, October 30th. Please have your child wear their favorite team jersey (no costumes please, we would hate for them to get ruined or lost before Trick or Treating). The day will be filled with mask making, our annual parade, and a special orange snack. Happy Halloween!

Poinsettias

It is Poinsettia time again. For those of you that are new to Growing Tree, each year we pre- sell Poinsettias to companies, friends, and families in Bend. The first week of December the plants are delivered to the center and I then deliver them. It is quite a beautiful sight to see close to 1000 poinsettias in the center and a joyous way to kickoff the holiday season. If you need volunteer hours this is a great project to participate in. 2 plants sold equals 1 volunteer hour. You may also want to help deliver. The order form is attached, feel free to copy as needed. Orders are due by Nov 6th please.

Play Date Lists

Play Date Lists are available under the Parent tab. You will need the usercode and password that was provided in the October News notification email to gain access
