Oct. 20 email to parents

Email sent out on Oct. 20th: (to help out parents who may join us late)

Hi parents!
I'm sorry it has taken so long to send this out, it has been a busy week with sick kids and also trying to get registrations ironed out (our school troop organizer Sally has been working like mad to get all troops for the school up and running).

I would like to plan a Meet & Greet/Pizza party for Friday November 4th at 6:00 (a little early so that the kids don't eat too late).  During that time, I will hold a quick parents meeting to go over a few things to get our troop started.  Details on the location will be coming soon.

Regular meetings will start on November 18th.  This day works well because the every-other-week rotation skips nicely around holidays and school breaks.  Still working on the location.

Because we will be having a mix of kindergarteners and 1st graders, I have planned to go through all of the petals by the end of the year (as well as the Daisy flower garden journey patches).  Even with the late start, we have plenty of time!  And for those girls who have already earned some petals, we will find something else for those girls to earn on those weeks (maybe a helping badge by working with the younger/newer kids?). 

If your daughter was in Daisies last year, you are probably aware that the books have all changed for this year.  So the stories and activities should be new and exciting to them!  All of the petals now follow specific flower characters and each comes with her own story.  We will start with Lupe (a Lupine flower, the light blue petal at the top), teaching girls to be honest and fair.


So far, my troop management system is showing that one girl (name is in email) has registered.  Has anyone else registered?  If so, please let me know so that I can make sure you are linked to our troop.

Please let me know if you have any questions!  And please bear with me as I get everything ready! :)
