We were so happy to see our grown-ups at Family Chapel this morning. Thank you to the Big Green Room for writing and illustrating our November Blessing.
Thank you for your generosity!
Thank you all for your very generous donations for the Thanksgiving Food Drive. You should know that you made Thanksgiving possible for so many families.
Thank you!
Book Fair
The second annual Plymouth Book Fair is fast approaching! Stop by the arcade on Tuesday, December 10th through Thursday, December 12th to purchase books from our curated selection of children and adult offerings. Online sales will be available starting Monday, December 2nd.
This year, we have partnered with Brooklyn Book Bodega, whose mission is to increase the number of 100+ book homes for kids 0-18 in NYC. Brooklyn Book Bodega provides access to and ownership of books, builds community, and creates a passion for learning through free events and literacy-based community programming. Please consider donating a book on behalf of this Brooklyn Navy Yard non-profit.
Family Holiday Sing
Our Holiday Sing will take place on Thursday, December 19th at 9:00am in the Church Sanctuary (entrance on Orange Street).
All Plymouth families (both AM and PM classes) are invited.
BGR children will be dropped off in their classroom at 8:55 as per usual, because they will be playing music during the Sing. BGR grownups will join everyone in the Sanctuary.
After the Holiday Sing, we will all gather in the gym for a holiday cookie party! Dismissal for the Winter Holidays follows the party.
Required Influenza Vaccine
The NYC Department of Health (DOH) mandates that all children receive one dose of the influenza vaccine (flu shot) by December 31, 2024. We must have a record of your child’s vaccine by that time, or we will be out of compliance with the DOH and subject to fines. Due to this, children will not be permitted to attend school when we return from the Winter Holidays on January 6, 2024, without proof of their influenza immunization.
Please email a copy of your child’s proof of vaccination to pcsadmin@plymouthchurch.org.
