Director's Column: Visitors, Valentines and Votes

Valentine's Day is coming up and we are looking forward to our Special Visitor Day and Valentine parties! You should have received your invitation with details about times. Come ready for a Creative Movement workout! These children have been practicing Messy Backyard and Dodgeball all year, so we're ready to take on all comers!

We will also have some Valentine gifts for our Special Visitors; we can't wait to show you what we have done! Each classroom does valentine cards a bit differently, so check in with your teachers if you have any questions about the policy for your classroom. The most important thing to know is that bringing valentines from home is optional. Please do whatever works best for your child and your family!

And, while you are spreading some love around, please go to the Wicked Local Readers Choice Awards ( https://wickedlocal.gatehousecontests.com/Readers-Choice-Awards-2019/ ) and show some love for Bowen! Voting is open now through Sunday, February 17th! We would LOVE to see Bowen Cooperative get the recognition it deserves! A Readers Choice Award would not only solidify our reputation, but also help us stand out among the many choices around Newton. Just click on the link above and choose "Local Services > Daycare/Preschool" and enter Bowen Cooperative in the space provided. We greatly appreciate your vote!

We have many events coming up in the next few months! Here are some dates to keep in mind:

Friday, February 15: Special Visitors Day. Bowen closes at NOON for February Vacation.

Wednesday, February 27: 3-Day Lunch Bunch Begins (more info coming on Monday) Tuesday, March 5, 6:30pm: Entitlement Workshop at Bowen

Friday, March 8: Pancake Breakfast

Friday, March 29: Spring Fling! More information to come from the Fundraising and Hospitality Teams. Best, Nina
