1. September 2014 Newsletter
September is here and the school year is off and running. We have a very busy month getting everyone
acclimated to the routines and schedules here at Kendal. Our parent meeting is set for Tuesday, September 16th,
at 6 pm. The Kendal at Oberlin kitchen will be making pizza for dinner for our families who attend. There will
be a lot of pertinent information given out about the upcoming school year, so we hope you will all be able to
make it.
Enjoy the month! ~ Jeni Hoover
On Track to Kindergarten:
Each Monday you will see a packet of papers on
your child’s hook that we are hoping you will spend
time doing together in the car, while you’re cooking
dinner, or afterwards in the evening before bedtime.
The program is designed to help parents and teachers
partner together to ensure their children are equipped
with the skills they need for kindergarten both in the
classroom and at home.
Look for more information to follow at our Parent
Meeting this month, on Tuesday, September 16th.

2. From Your Child’s Teacher:
August was a fun-filled month as we enjoyed many field trips. We had a fantastic day at the Lorain County Fair
petting the many different farm animals (4H-ers love to share), watching bees make honey, eating a terrific picnic
lunch, and dancing to music. To end Fair Week we had our very own bake-off and enjoyed very yummy desserts.
Both were deserving of a blue ribbon!
We also enjoyed several walking field trips around different parts of Oberlin. We walked to Gibson’s for ice
cream, to the park, and a walk in the woods to enjoy nature. These reminded us how the simplest things in life can
be the most amazing experiences through the eyes of a child. On our walk through the woods one of our children
looked at us and said, “This is the bestest day ever!”
Welcome to all of our new families and welcome back to all our returning families! We are so excited to start a
new school year with all of you!
