Putting The Soup in Super Bowl

 

We know this has been a difficult winter, and the piles of snow and ice have made our drop-off more complicated. We want to keep everyone safe, so please keep in mind the following:

• There is no parking in the drop-off circle at any time. This is a fire lane and must be kept clear to allow emergency vehicles access.
  
• Please have your child exit on the right side of the car.
  
• Walking between vehicles is not safe for children or teachers, especially with snow and ice.
  
• Please be cautious as you enter and exit the parking and drop-off areas, the snow banks have made visibility challenging, and our students are short!
  
• Please be patient, we are doing our best to get your children safely into the building under difficult conditions, and it may take a few minutes longer than usual to drop off some days. 

Thank you for your support and understanding!

We will be having early dismissal on Thursday, February 17th and Friday, February 18th for parent teacher conferences. After Care will be available on those days for children in our Threes through Kindergarten programs, however children must be registered in advance in order to attend After Care on those days.  If you would like to register for this program, please contact the main office by phone, at 203-226-6982 or by email, rtoon@landmarkpreschool.org.   Please note that there is no After Care for the Twos on conference days.

Help children fighting cancer pass the time while receiving chemotherapy and blood transfusions...

 

TeamBrent is collecting new and used Wii games and controllers for the Yale Pediatric Oncology transfusion room.  Thanks to a generous donation, the Yale University Pediatric Department - Hematology/Oncology Section (aka "Dr. Joe's office) has received a Nintendo Wii System for their office.  This game system will be placed in the transfusion room to entertain and engage children as they receive blood transfusions or chemotherapy; which can sometimes take numerous consecutive hours.  Help us turn your new and gently used games/controllers into hours of fun for kids battling cancer.  For your convenience, there will be a donation box located in the Landmark main office during the upcoming weeks. 

 

TeamBrent was created by the McCreesh family,  whose son Brent, a Landmark alumni,  was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at a very young age. Thanks to innovative treatments, Brent is doing well.

 

TeamBrent represents an outpouring of community support for Brent and other childhood cancer patients and survivors, and organizes events in our community to help with this great cause. One of their most popular events is the St. Baldrick’s Day event where volunteers can shave their heads to raise money for cancer research. This year’s event will take place on April 10th at Harbor Yard.  For more information on this worthwhile cause, go to www.teambrent.com
