Truro Preschool and Kindergarten

J is for Jesus! Our students love learning about him and how He’s the reason for the season!

Who is ready for our annual Christmas nativity pageant? It’s this week, December 14th and 15th. Please refer to information from your child’s teacher on their day of performance. We are all so excited to gather, celebrate, and share in the ultimate Christmas gift, baby Jesus!

Our sweet kindergarten class made Christmas cards for soldiers who won’t make it home for Christmas. We pray this brings our U.S. military some smiles this holiday season.

Classrooms have transitioned from pumpkins and leaves to snowflakes and Christmas trees! December is off to an exciting start as we begin this beautiful Advent season.

Your Giving Tuesday support will allow TPK to continue providing families with a Christ-centered learning environment that fosters strong social, emotional, and problem-solving skills necessary to thrive. Link to donate ❤️ https://truropreschool.org/support-tpk/

Tomorrow is the last Monday of the month, so what does that mean at TPK? It’s Spirit Day! Join us with your fun TPK spirit wear and a hearty dose of school spirit! Still in need of some TPK gear?

Perhaps a TPK tee under the tree! 🎄Don’t forget to tag us in your blue! 💙

The Bible Says, “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” We’re so grateful for our entire school community and we pray you have a joyful Thanksgiving! Here’s a sneak peek at just a few of the things our little school friends are thankful for this holiday season. ❤️

It’s a beautiful day to play, play, play! ☀️

It’s not too late to join us this Saturday at 9 AM for a day of family FUN! We are so grateful that we can gather in-person as a community and raise money for TPK! We will meet at Truro Church and run/walk a mile down Main Street and return to the campus where we will celebrate, distribute medals, and enjoy music, a raffle, food, moon bounces, games, and face painting. 👀 Also, be on the lookout for raffle tickets that will be available for purchase starting Wednesday via an online link… we have some AMAZING prizes to give away!

Lots of adorable artwork went home last week for our Original Works school fundraiser! Please keep the art safe and return with your order form by November 7th. We can't wait to see what treasures get ordered for keepsakes and Christmas gifts. Keep in mind, we only do this fundraiser every other year here at TPK.

We are excited for dress up day on Tuesday, November 1st! Please send your student to class wearing their costume, and if possible, a book related to their character. There will be opportunities as you drop off at 9:00 for photos, and there will be a whole school parade at 9:15 that you are warmly invited to attend as well. Please do send a change of clothes if they will need one to continue their day at school. Also remember that there are no scary costumes allowed at TPK.

Next week Noodles and Company in Fairfax City will be giving 25% back to TPK for our next community night! Be sure to mark your calendar for a night off from cooking!

There are so many ways to build! Have you asked your child about something they have created lately?

If you’ve experienced one of our Turkey Trots here on campus, you know how much fun it is for your entire family! Did you know TPK was grandfathered in with Fairfax City to be able to block Main Street off for our 1 mile run? So special! After the run there is so much more fun to be had! Bounce houses, games, exciting characters, and of course the raffle with some spectacular prizes! We can’t wait to see you there!🏃🏻‍♀️🦃💙

Reading together is always more fun! Have you asked your child about our school library yet? It’s always a fun visit! 📚

Our Pre-K class had a fantastic field trip last week to Frying Pan Park! They learned so much about where our food comes from and the hard work that farmers do every day to provide food for us. They also learned about various grains and the grinding it takes to turn them into flour, and even got a chance to grind some corn themselves!

Wednesday morning and evening we will be sharing about Conscious Discipline, proven discipline techniques that are effective here at school and will also transfer to your home as well. Join us for snacks and coffee immediately after morning drop off in Common Grounds (through the glass walkway) or via Zoom at 7:30pm.

There’s so much excitement to be back in chapel! Last week the children learned about God’s creation and all the beauty that comes along with it.

The rain won’t stop our play! Happy Monday! We hope you had a great weekend.

Our kindergartners have a front row seat to seeing the lifecycle of a butterfly. They’ve had two butterflies emerge in their very own classroom! This hands on learning is what our Kindergarten program is all about. 🦋

We had our first TPK Spirit Day on Monday! The last Monday of each month we will continue this tradition, so show up in your new or previously owned TPK gear, your Turkey Trot run shirt, or something blue! 💙

Run! Turkey Trot registration is now open! As our first year back in person again for the Turkey Trot, we are SO excited to host this event back on campus! The Run will take place on November 12th.
