Thank you!!!
Thank you to everyone who helped us out with Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week. We had so many families that were very generous with their food donation. We would not have been able to celebrate our teachers and staff without your help.
Thank you to all of the families that donated gifts for the teachers and staff. Some items were put into gift bags and delivered to the teachers while other gifts were used as part of a drawing.
Thank you to the parents that helped to set up, serve and clean up! Your time is important and we are very appreciative of that.
Thank you to all of the families that returned the index card. We heard a lot of great comments from the teachers regarding the thank you books. It is not too late to bring them into your teacher if you have forgotten.
A huge thank you to the following businesses: St. Croix Center for the Healing Arts/Dwayne Collis for providing chair massages, County Market for donation of orange juice, Hudson Bagel and Coffee for a donation of coffee and Bruegger’s Bagels for a donation of bagels! Please show your appreciation to these businesses by thanking them the next time you are there!
The teachers and staff were very appreciative of all of the wonderful food and gifts that were given! Many times we heard “You are being to kind” or “You are being so thoughtful”.
Thank you all again!

Where:
Pump It UP
7045 6th Street N
Oakdale, MN 55128
(651) 735-1556
Cost: $5 per child (preregistration required)
How to preregister: Send a check made out to WRPG in an envelope labeled Pump It UP with your child. Also enclosed the signed waiver in the envelope. Without the waiver the children will not be allowed to participate. There is a maximum of 75 children due to building capacity. The first children registered will be able to participate.
Link to waiver and directions:
http://www.pumpitupparty.com/mn/oakdale/directions-p6q129.htm
Why: to help replenish WRPG funds to help finish the year strong!
Directions: Take the 10th Street exit off I694. Go west to the first main intersection. Take a left on Hadley. Take a left on 6th Street. The first driveway on the right.
Who will watch your kids?
The fun and friendly staff will provide supervision in the inflatable arenas! We will have a couple of parents remain on site to help shuttle kids to the restrooms.
A WAIVER signed by a parent/guardian & SOCKS are required. Parents may drop children off with the signed waiver, or wait in the building. There is a maximum play area capacity of 75. So the more parents that choose to play, it may limit the number of children allowed in. Hopefully we reach the capacity and the kids all have a fun way to burn some energy on a day away from school!
