| Acceptance criteria: | "The Admissions Lottery : All new applicants to Park West are selected on a lottery basis to fill the spots remaining after the priority students have been admitted. That lottery is held in March. We go class-by-class drawing names one by one until we fill the class. We continue drawing names until every name has been drawn and these names are then placed on a waiting list. The classrooms are generally divided equally between boys and girls, and separate wait lists are maintained for each gender. Those wait lists remain active sometimes until after the start of school in the fall in case a vacancy arises." -Park West Cooperative website |

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
