A Message From our Director, Ann Hirsch
It is hard to believe but summer really is just around the corner and it is never to early to start making plans for your children. The Landmark 2012 Summer camp materials were sent home in your child's backpack last week. They will also be available soon on our website. We are fortunate to have our fun and energetic camp director, Kristeen Chickering, returning this year. She has already put in motion plans and activities that just may make this our most fun summer camp experience ever! If you have any questions about our summer camp program, please feel free to call me or Kristeen. See you at Camp Landmark!

The Neighborhood Safety Network
This weeks Neighborhood Safety Network tip is entitled: Fire Safety Tips
From candles to cooking to electrical wiring to home appliances, there are potential fire hazards at every turn within our homes. In recent years, unintentional fires have killed an average of 2,500 people, injured more than 13,000, and caused $5 billion in property damage. Learn how to protect your family and home from fire hazards.
Get an Early Warning
Have a working smoke alarm placed on each level in the home outside bedroom areas and inside every bedroom. Never disconnect batteries from smoke alarms, and move them away from kitchens or bathrooms. Replace the batteries once a year, for example during daylight savings time, or when they “chirp.” Replace smoke alarms every 10 years.
Plan Your Escape
Help those who need help. Children and the elderly may not hear smoke alarms. Consider this as part of your escape plan. Plan your escape route and practice leaving your home. Decide on one place outside where family members should meet.
Steps You Can Take to Prevent Fires
Have your heating system, water heater and any other fuel-burning appliances serviced by a qualified technician every year. Keep portable heaters, smoking materials and candles away from bedding, curtains or other combustibles. Keep lighters and matches out of the reach of children. Keep a close eye on what you’re cooking. Cooking equipment accounts for the highest percentage of fires.

The morning workshops included two speakers from Scholastic, Inc. where the focus was on Dialogic reading and other literacy strategies. Afternoon topics were concentrated on Curriculum Mapping.
The FOURS classes went on a Field Trip last week to gaze at the Stars via Starlab at Ridgefield Academy. This was one of the highlights of their unit on the Solar System!
One of the best things about Valentines Day is decorating the totebag in which to put all of your Valentines!
