| Welcome Barbecue – August A wonderful kick-off to the coming year is our Welcome barbecue. It is a great chance for new and returning families to meet staff and other families who will be joining the school in in the upcoming weeks. Orientation – September Meet your teachers, new friends, and explore the classrooms. September lesson packets will be available to take home. Parents may use this time to complete any incomplete forms, discuss special concerns with teachers, etc. Open House (for enrolled students) – October Come visit your child’s rooms. Look at past and present work, view folders, and see how we’re progressing. Halloween Party The day of October 31st or before, if falling on a weekend. ALL Saints’ Day Parade – November 1st Children dress as their favorite Saint and attend Chapel. All are welcome to attend Chapel! Thanksgiving Feast – November A school event with students, teachers, faculty of Emmanuel Church, and parent volunteers. Students dress in Pilgrim and Native American attire and sit down together to enjoy God’s bountiful Harvest that they have helped to prepare. This traditional holiday feast is a “Miss Dawn” tradition that has developed over the last 15 years, and always takes place the day before Thanksgiving Recess. Our Holiday Show and Pageant – December A Miss Dawn legacy, students partake in a traditional Christmas Pageant for their parents, relatives, and friends! Junior class performs traditional songs of different cultures. The Senior class will reenact through costume and song the birth of Jesus. Bring plenty of tissue and your camera this is surely every parent’s first gift of the season! A festive reception and a visitor from up North conclude this very special evening!! Open House for Next School Year, (registration for the public) – January/February Tell your family, friends. Limited space is available. We look forward to meeting new friends. Families may tour the school, meet our staff, and register at this time. (An existing family may have first registration privileges beginning December and ending January 31st). Parent Teacher Conferences – March School is closed this day. Parents make appointments to speak with teachers about their child’s progress and test scores. This is an important and critical time for parents and students as many children do not begin to reach and exhibit their developmental plateaus until February. Accommodating half-hour appointments beginning at 7am-6pm are available. We are sensitive to the needs of divorced families and will provide separate appointments if need be. Easter Egg Hunt – Thursday before Easter Traditional Egg Hunt on the beautiful lawn of Emmanuel Church…Wear your Easter Best! Medieval Feast - May Medieval month culminates with a truly medieval day complete with medieval attire and a knighting and "princess" ceremony held in the beautiful, historic Emmanuel church. This is all followed up by jousting and games out on the lawn and concludes with an "authentic" feast with drum legs and goblets for all! Art Show and Science Faire – May With Spring, comes warm, magical nights! Come to our Emmanuel Day School Family Night! Children and adults are invited to join us for the Children’s Art Show in our Gothic-style surroundings! Students also showcase their science faire projects which they have worked on all month and are very proud to display. End of the Year Cook Out- June The day before graduation we ask for many parent volunteers to help us coordinate a cook out after our last graduation rehearsal. This is our last day of school. Graduation Ceremony- June All children participate in a choreographed production sure to rival Broadway before receiving their diplomas. All Emmanuel Day School students will be in full uniform. The ceremonial passing in the “ties” by the Senior class is one not to be missed! |
