Ambleside Art Cards Available in the School Office
In past years, we have provided the art card fundraiser, a unique opportunity for students, parents and teachers to not only raise
money for Ambleside, but also raise awareness about our school. We have a surplus of these art cards in the school office. Please come by
the office and purchase art cards ($16/box of 12 art cards) as gifts for Christmas or any time of the year. Choose from two selections:
“Flower Dance” and “Animal Faces”. Not only will you be helping us lower the operating deficit by selling art cards, but also you are helping
publicize Ambleside School and the beautiful work our students create. Thank you for your support of this fundraising effort.

String Students
String students will not be meeting with Ms. Embach for the weekly strings lesson on the following Thursdays:

February 18. Mark your calendars, please.

Ambleside Community Prayer Gathering
Tuesdays at 7:30-8:00 a.m. in the assembly room. Please come join families, teachers, and staff in prayer as we give our school
to God and seek his will, wisdom, and blessings. Feel free to join us anytime. Children are welcome to pray with us or play in
the school yard. “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33

Healthy Snacks and Healthy Lunches
Please be sure to send your child with a snack that includes some protein (nuts, yogurt, cheese, peanut butter, etc.) and a lunch
that includes protein and a fruit or vegetable. In order to prepare your child for learning, please do not send your child to school
with high sugar snacks or lunch items

Novel H1N1 Virus a.k.a. “Swine Flu” Information
• Novel H1N1 Virus is not any more severe than seasonal influenza.
• Most people recover fully without medical assistance.

Parents are asked to check their children each morning for illness and keep them home if they have a fever (oral temperature
above 100.4 degrees). Students with influenza like illnesses are asked to stay at home, drink plenty of fluids and rest. The student
must remain home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of fever reducing medications (Tylenol, Motrin).
The student must be seen in the school office upon returning to school for a temperature check by the staff to protect others.

Coffee Chats
Principal Coffee Chats are an opportunity for new Ambleside parents to meet once during the year for an informal conversation
time in the office of Principal Mrs. Whitehead. New parents may call the school office to schedule a date before Thanksgiving
for Thursdays, 8:30-9:15 a.m.

Picnic & Play at Marktplatz
Picnic & Play at Marktplatz is the third Friday of each month at 12:45 p.m. for Kinder and grades 1-2. Bring a bag lunch and
join other parents and children for fellowship and fun. Dates: January 15, February 19, March 26 (fourth Friday due to spring break),
