Free Passes to Amazing Events
/in A Few Notes from Ms. Jill /by Ms. JillThis is a brand new arts access program open exclusively to metro public library users. As a pilot program, smARTpass is a smaller-scale, six-month test to see how a larger-scale program might work in practice. If you have a library card from any of the eight public library systems in the Twin Cities 7-county metro (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington counties, and the city of Saint Paul), you have the opportunity to reserve free and/or discounted admission to a wide range of arts experiences.

Sunscreen…
/in A Few Notes from Ms. Jill /by Ms. JillHello Families,
Can you believe that today was a “Sunscreen Day”? If the UV index is a 5 or above we need to apply sunscreen to children who will be outside more than 20 minutes. We use a lotion from Rocky Mountain Sunscreen- here is information taken from their website (http://www.rmsunscreen.com/128OunceGallonSPF50Kids.aspx) explaining their product:
If you choose to supply your own sunscreen for your child it needs to be a lotion – we do not use spray products. The product needs to be given to a teacher – none can be stored in their cubby.
