I Have Plenty to Be Thankful for...

I am thankful for so many things in my life. I am really fortunate I can say I love my work.  Here's a list of what I give thanks for at MCP--

I am thankful that you choose MCP.  It means a lot that you choose us to provide your child's first school experience.  I am thankful that my husband is so understanding of ALL the things that I save at home---jars, milk caps, boxes. He gets it.  I am thankful that YOU save all the things that make our program fun---cereal boxes, jars, greeting cards, egg cartons, plastic lids and more. It takes time and effort and I thank you!  I am thankful for our MCP board members who take care of our school registration, fundraisers, family fun night, Facebook, Pinterest,  school website, bookkeeping, payroll, taxes, tuition deposits and so much more. They keep MCP running smoothly. I am thankful for the mom volunteer who said 'Yes' to setting up our Shutterfly account (again :-) I am thankful to our volunteer parents help out when teachers are sick.  I am thankful when parents volunteer to put together tables, carts, playsets, etc. (I am a lot of things but handy is not one of them) I am thankful for the community support we receive at MCP.  I am thankful for Christian Union Church.  We are so fortunate to be a part of their ministry.  Without their support, MCP would not exist.  I am thankful CUChurch shares so many of their facilities with MCP.  We cook in the kitchen.  We use the attic to store lots of our equipment.  We use the Fellowship Hall for large motor activities in the winter, our preK Thanksgiving program and end of the year program for the 3 y/o.  We use the sanctuary for our Christmas and Graduation program.  They are very good to MCP.  I am thankful I can wear jeans and a sweater to work most days :-)  I could go on and on but I am so very thankful for the opportunity to do what I love. The common core of our program is we love, we laugh and we learn.
