October proved to be a very busy, but wonderful month here at the CDC. The beginning of the month was filled with preparations for our "Under the Tuscan Sun" Silent Auction, which took place on October 15th. Thank you to Ginnie McConn and Laura Wolfe for charing our auction and for all of the work that it entails! Thank you also, for all who collected donations, the room parents who arranged the class art projects, and all of the other volunteers who helped make this event possible. The night of auction was absolutely delightful and a huge success. We had a great time with our CDC families and friends, while raising money for our awesome little school!
Beautiful Classroom Art Projects for Auction:
Younger Toddler "Trick-or-Treat, Smell My Feet" Bowl
Older Toddler Sunflower Hand/Fingerprint Plates
2-3 Class Handprint Chair
3-4 Class Hand-Painted Sunflower Quilt
Pre-K Fingerprint Critters on a Stool After Auction, we began preparing for our 2nd Annual Trunk-or-Treat event! This year we had around 30 parents there to decorate trunks and pass out candy to the children! Way to go CDC Parents!!! The event took place yesterday on Halloween and the parents did a spooktacular job of decorating their trunks for the occasion! The kids had a great time and took home a whole bucket of goodies! Thank you to all who participated in Trunk-or-Treat and also thank you to all of the parents who made their classroom parties so much fun, as well. We really have an outstanding group of parents around here! If you have photos from the event, please email them to stmarkscdc@smumc.org and I will post them. My new camera had a malfunction and I am mailing it back to the company, so I'm unable to get my photos off of my memory card until the new camera arrives later this week. So... more photos to come soon.
Now it's November and we can't wait for more fall fun, as this cooler weather has finally hit Houston! The teachers have all kinds of great activities planned and we're also looking forward to our Thankful Gathering before Thanksgiving Break. Happy fall to everyone!
