Mrs. Brouwer's Kindergarten Class: April 2024

Rose Park Field Day

Tuesday, May 28

12:30 - 3:00 PM

Rose Park students will be having Field Day at school.

Please make sure your child is dressed to do activities outside on that day.

Holland Christian Schools has developed a strong culture of adults investing in and mentoring students, cultivating a fruitful context for positive spiritual formation of our students. From Preschool through senior year, Holland Christian students know they are loved, affirmed, instructed and nurtured to become all that God has gifted them to be as his agents of shalom in our world. This happens in one-on-one conferring between teacher and developing reader; on the field, court, pool or stage between coach and performer; over coffee or breakfast between teacher and teen. HCS staff members invest into the lives of students, helping to create a “fabric of faithfulness” surrounding students who are encouraged to grow and “stay strong in their faith.”

One way that we tangibly can represent this “life-on-life” influence institutionally, yet personally, is to pass a customized HCS track baton from teacher to student, and student to teacher each year that a student is at HCS. Inside of this baton that follows each student throughout her or his HCS years is a scroll of paper with the accumulated personal messages of recognition and encouragement that will be added by that student’s teacher each year.

Please watch for this special baton, labeled with your child’s name, to come home with your child on the last day of school, June 5. Read the scroll inside, celebrate and pray together with your child over the growth that has taken place throughout this school year filled with God’s providence, guidance and love. You may feel free to write a note to your child on this baton scroll as well and invite another mentoring adult or two to write a thoughtful note encouraging your child as well. We ask that you store this baton in a safe place throughout the summer months so that your child can pass this baton to his/her new teacher next fall when we return to school.

Kindergarten Visiting Day

Friday - May 17

We are so excited to welcome the incoming Kindergarteners for the 2024-2025 school year. They will be coming to Rose Park to visit with Mrs. Brouwer and our classroom on May 17 in the morning.

This will be a regular day for our current Kindergarteners. Students will be with a guest teacher in a different classroom while I am meeting future families and Kindergarteners in our classroom.
