Kindergarten Boo Hoo Breakfast Question

Replied by Cj mom of five on topic Re:Kindergarten Boo Hoo Breakfast Question
At our MOPS graduation at church we gave out a pack of tissues with a party horn attached and a note that read Psalms 30:50 Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning.

We used some of the ideas below to create one appropriate for public school:

Kindergarten will soon be here. Some will cry and others will cheer.
While some are teary and boo-hoo, soon we'll cartwheel and say woo-hoo!
Whatever your mood, happy or blue, the (school name) PTA is here for you!

The First Day
We gave you a little wink and smile
As you entered our school today.
For we know how hard it is to leave
And know your child must stay.
You've been with him for five years now
And have been a loving guide,
But now, alas, the time has come
To leave him at the teacher’s side.
Just know that as you drive away
And tears down your cheeks may flow
We’ll love him as we would our own
And help him learn and grow.
For as a parent, we too know
How quickly the years do pass
And that one day soon it will be our turn
To take our child to class.
So please put your mind at ease
And cry those tears no more
For we will love him and take him in
When you leave him at our door.

Dearest Kindergarten Parents,
Here is a little "gift" for you as you leave your precious one with (School name) on the first day of school. As you hold this cotton ball in your hand, the softness will help you to remember the gentle spirit of your child. After you've gone home and dried your tears, make yourself a hot cup of tea . Put up your feet and relax. Remember that together we will work for your child to be the best they can be.Thank you for entrusting your child to (school name)for the coming school year. Our school will do their very best every day to be your child's guide in learning and exploring this bright, new world they've just stepped into.
Sincerely,(The school's) PTO

First Day of Kindergarten

Look Mommy and Daddy! Look at me!
I’m a big boy now ready to fly…can you see!
I’m learning to count and say my ABC’s…
Look Mommy and Daddy, aren’t you proud of me!

But hold on tight to the string, ‘cause you know
Although I’m growing I still need you, you know
To hear about my day, and cuddle next to me
As I tell you my tales of Kindergarten, you see.

I’m making new friends and learning each day
And with each step, I’m up, up and away!
But never too far for you to hold onto me
Because I love you Mommy and Daddy…won’t you fly with me?

Hi, Nicki ~

I don't know if this will be helpful for what you are wanting, but we are planning our first Boo Hoo/Ya Hoo breakfast for the first day of school, and I created this little poem for the invitation:

SOME OF US ARE CRYING, TEARY-EYED AND BLUE

SOME OF US ARE CHEERING, "I'M GLAD THE SUMMER'S THROUGH!"

WHATEVER MOOD YOU'RE FEELING, STOP BY AND STAY AWHILE

WE'LL BE HERE TO GREET YOU WITH COFFEE AND A SMILE!

If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

We are looking for a poem and something to hand out to the Kindergarten parents as they are leaving the boo hoo breakfast.

We have done the hugs and kisses here also.

Any new ideas of poems and things to hand out???

TIA, Nicki
