Dear 2011-12 PEI-PTU Parents:
In all seasons of the year, we can always use help with boxes of 
wipes, paper towels & Kleenex (although as we begin the 2011-12 
school year we already have an ample supply of Kleenex).  Thanks!!

Also, in our effort to expose our children to healthy eating 
practices, we encourage our parents to consider donating some of the 
items on our healthy snack list (see below). Thanks for your help!

Eating habits play a large role in our children's ability to sit 
still, focus and do well in school. Research indicates that eating 
habits established during preschool age are continued throughout our 
lives (and profoundly affect our dieting efforts later in life). 
Thus, we are providing each PEI family with a list of our preferred 
snack choices in case you would like to focus on healthy snacks at 
home, also. 

We do have adequate storage facilities for food, so please feel free 
to make donations either in bulk or a little at a time. Those marked 
with an asterisk are typically the children's favorites. Our daily 
class enrollment is 6 three year-olds. Thank you.
