News from the Head of School
The school has been humming with activity and excitement these past few weeks. This is a great time of year because the classes really have their “groove” and much of the learning is fast paced and exciting. Congratulations to Mrs. Hotaling’s Odyssey of the Mind group for their OMER award for being well mannered, courteous and for showing excellent sportsperson-like conduct.
As you all know, we are at the end of re-enrollment season and contracts and deposits for next year are due by March 15th. This year many of our classes will be full with our returning students. We also have many potential new students who are anxiously waiting to see if we have room for them. While it is very important to us that we retain our current students and their families, it is also critical that we fill our classes as much as possible to build revenue and maintain quality programs.
My door is open to you if you would like to discuss anything concerning re-enrollment and contracts for next year.
On another note, I think it is important to talk to you all about the requests that went out recently asking you to join the honorary committee for the “Innovate and Create” celebration dinner. This is a chance for people to give additional financial support to the school and be publicly recognized. Fundraising is a vital part of keeping tuition down and helping us to meet the needs of our families. Please consider joining the honorary committee if you can. Also, please know that everyone will be invited to attend the celebration dinner at a later date, which may be more affordable to you. This year we will be holding the event at the Troy Country Club on May 15th. We will be honoring the Children’s Museum of Science and Technology for their efforts to bring science and technology to children in the Capital Region. It is always a wonderful night of spending time with our Taylor School community and celebrating the success of our school.
The children are working on their quilt squares for the quilt that will be auctioned at the celebration. We also have had a donation of a condo for a week on Captiva Island in South Florida. Stay tuned for other great auction items!
Think Spring!
