“They May forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” Carl W. Beuhner
It’s been quite a month, as May arrived before we knew it and was done even faster! Here at Launch Learning Preschool, the last few weeks of the semester were filled with fantastic families and fabulous fun!
Despite having to cancel our End of Year Picnic due to inclement weather, our Launch Learning families came together for multiple events. The Teacher Appreciation week was made extra special as enthusiastic parents artistically designed and decorated the classroom doors tailored to each teacher. The teaching staff felt the love with the many gifts of gratitude and kind words from the Launch Learning administrative team and families. A heartfelt Thank You to local businesses who donated to spoiling our teachers with delicious food: Margarita Island, Chick-fil-A of Merritt Island, Bagel World and Pozzy Brothers Pizza.
We celebrated motherhood and those who fulfill mothering responsibilities by hosting multiple days of “Muffins for Ma’ams.” Moms, grandmothers and aunties were treated to muffins, juice and fruit in our beautifully decorated multipurpose room. The Infant, Toddler and Threes teachers all showered their “Ma’ams” with handmade art from their children, along with flowers and notes of appreciation. Launch Learning preschool loves our mommas, grandmas and caregivers! A special Thank You to Carousel Florist for the beautiful flowers and Publix for the muffins.
We did not forget our awesome Dads and Granddads! Thanks to donations from Dunkin’ Donuts here in Merritt Island, the Launch Learning team celebrated them with “Donuts for Dudes.” The playground was set up with a table of donuts, milk and coffee for a before-school meet and greet. Dads and granddads were able to share a treat breakfast with their children, with a few minutes to hang out and visit with each other. The Three-year-old class presented their dads with a thoughtful gift to let them know just how strong they made their children feel!
The final farewell was the First Annual Launch Learning Water Fun Day. All classes came together on the final Friday of the semester to get wet, play with friends, and kick off the summer break with a party! Despite some technical challenges, the GIANT waterslide was a hit, thanks to a demonstration by our teaching team. The playground was set up with sprinklers, a fishing station, a splash pool, a water ball pit, a fantastical water table, water bead sensory tables, the trike washing station and the shaving cream painting finale. All this fun along with yummy snacks and ice pops made for a wet, wonderful day.
Now that the inaugural first semester of Launch Learning has ended, we want to again thank all who have helped in so many ways. The Merritt Island community support has been tremendous. We wish you a healthy and safe summer spent making memories with those you love.
