WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN 2020-2021!!

Dear Kindergarten Parents, 

.        Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year. My name is Arlean Leahy and I will have the pleasure and honor of teaching your children this year. I have been in the Saint Gabriel Early Childhood program for what will be my 19th year!! Time truly does fly when you are having fun! Our Kindergarten environment is vigorous and calm, positive and encouraging and your children will be taught and nurtured with fairness and kindness! We are blessed to have Ms.Yulissa Marte, our kind and caring Aide this year too!

.        I have attached a list of a few necessities for the coming year:

For the Classroom:
- a change of clothing for each child, socks and under garments included, in a clear plastic ziploc bag, labeled with child's name and Kindergarten. This does not need to be the uniform, but something close, white shirt, navy sweats or shorts.
- 2 pocket folders, durable, as 1 will be sent home with homework, letters or completed work, once a week..The other will be used in the classroom. 
-markers 12 count (used for Art as well)
-colored pencils 12 count (used for Art as well)

Children will receive a pencil box with #2 pencils, crayons, scissors, and glue stick to be kept in school. They do not need to bring these items to school.

For Home:
- pencils
- crayons
- child size scissors
- glue stick or bottle
- construction and drawing paper
- markersand colored pencils.

Sometimes the children will have projects for homework and will need to have these supplies at home. 

Thank you for you support and cooperation and I truly look forward to seeing you in September! Enjoy the rest of summer! Any questions feel free to email me @ ALeahy@saintgabrielschoolbronx.org

Sincerely,
Mrs. Leahy
