A Look at What's Happening at Landmark...    

Welcome Back!

We hope all our families enjoyed their Thanksgiving break!

Landmark Shopping Event

Landmark families will enjoy a private shopping event with light refreshments and a 20% discount at the JCrew on Main St. in Westport on Tuesday, Dec. 7th from 5:30 – 7:30.


Thank you to all who participated in our Thanksgiving food drive. Your generosity helps Connecticut families in need. Special thanks to Shannon and James Whipple for delivering the collected items to the Food Bank.

School Reach Test

We will be conducting a test of our School Reach automated messaging system this Saturday, December 4th at noon, rather than Wednesday, November 24th as previously planned. Following the test, please send any necessary changes to your contact information to Hannah Barber (hbarber@landmarkpreschool.org)

Re-enrollment Agreements

Re-enrollment agreements were sent to all families currently enrolled in our Twos and Threes as well as any siblings we have received applications for over the Thanksgiving break. Families in our Fours or Fives must contact our Director of Admissions, Kim McElderry (kmcelderry@landmarkpreschool.org) to receive a re-enrollment agreement if they have not already done so.  Contracts for new families will be going out at the end of this week, so be sure and take advantage of your in-house status before time runs out!  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Kim McElderry (kmcelderry@landmarkpreschool.org) or Siobhan Powers Streams (sstreams@landmarkpreschool.org)


If you are new to Landmark (having joined us after October 1st) or if your child was not quite ready for his/her close-up on picture day and you would like to try again, Skylight Studio will be here on Wednesday, January 26th. Re-takes are by appointment only, and the original portrait package must be returned. Please contact Fran Scippa (fscippa@landmarkpreschool.org) to make an appointment for a re-take.

Holiday Celebrations

Each class has its’ own schedule, please check dates and times to the right. The Twos classes have a celebration in their classrooms with their teachers.
 
 
 
This year, we will once again be participating in the "Coats for Kids" winter coat drive.  Through December 17th, we will be collecting coats of all sizes which will then be taken to State Cleaners where they will be cleaned and distributed to families in need.  Please drop off your new and gently worn coats in the available boxes located in our halls and outside of each classroom.  Thank you for your generosity!

Special thanks to Kim Forte for organizing lunch for our teachers from the LPA this month. It was greatly appreciated!
