Joe Corbi Fundraiser

The Joe Corbi Fundraiser ends on Thursday, February 9. Please have your orders in by then. Think about the ease of a freezer full of pizzas for Lent!

Today 1/21

Due to inclement weather, the Winter Carnival will begin TODAY at noon and will last until 2. We hope you will still join us for a day of fun with your Coop family. We know some may have a conflict with nap times, but we hope that today you can make an exception and be flexible....we promise a fun time will be had by all. This is one of our largest fundraisers and the various committees have been working for months on this event! Please come and show your support for JHTC. Thanks and hope to see you at 12.

Tuesday 2/14

There WILL be class on Tuesday, February 14. The Storytime with Gloria will occur as well.

Tuesday Story Hour Drop-In

Miss Gloria is offering a wonderful new class beginning Tuesday, February 7, 2012. It is a drop- in class that will feature a story time and craft based on the Dr. Suess stories. This is a great afternoon activity from 1-2:30! The price is right- 5.00 per child. Hope to see you there!

Spring Field Trip

The Spring Field Trip will take place on Friday, February 24 from 9:30-11:30 at Coppermine Fieldhouse.

The plans for the day:

We can break the kids down into age groups so that some can participate with the Lil’ Kickers soccer program, little ones can be in our Exploration Room, the Climbing Room, on the trampoline and swing and will be able to rotate through all of our fun spaces….we will keep them active and happy while they are here!

It would be $13.00 for each participant that is actively going to play for the two hours. Each child will get a Coppermine goodie bag to take home with them. We will have instructors for each of the different groups and parent participation is always welcome!

The kids will just need to wear comfy clothes and tennis or running shoes are perfect.

Inclement Weather Policy

If Baltimore County schools open one hour late, all classes are held on time. If Baltimore County schools open two hours late, all classes are canceled. If Baltimore County schools are closed, all classes are canceled. We will have a telephone chain to alert you if we deviate from the above for any reason or check the hotline.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to JHTC! We hope that you had a terrific holiday with your families.

Please mark your calendars for our Winter Carnival- January 21st! This exciting day is a wonderful day for JHTC families to unite as a community for a fun and exciting day. The Silent Auction and Winter Carnival Committee has been hard at work for months planning the events of the day. We have a large number of terrific auction items that have been donated to JHTC. We hope to see everyone there!

Tuesday PM Class Update

Due to numerous requests, we have adjusted the Tuesday PM class to accommodate siblings. Some Co-op families have to use sitters to attend class, and we felt this is a creative solution. The class runs from 2:30 -4:30. Consider this option and remain in Co-op! Thanks! The JHTC Board
