RE: UCSB Children's Day
UCSB Childcare Advisory Committee is pleased to offer the 5th Annual UCSB Children's Day on Friday, April 4, 2008 from 8:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
The goal of Children's Day is to introduce the children of faculty, staff and students to the many different aspects of our UCSB community, ranging from academics to research to athletics and beyond, and all the while, showing our children that learning, achievement and fun can all go hand-in-hand.
Last year, almost 100 children participated in a fantastic day of fun and learning and we hope this year will be even better. The day's events begin at 8:00 a.m. in Storke Plaza and finish with a pizza and salad lunch (with entertainment!) on the lawn behind the UCEN. Children must be between 5-14 years old. For safety reasons, all children ages 5 and 6 must be accompanied for the entire event by a parent or guardian. Parents of older children are also very welcome to join in the fun and accompany their children.
Children's Day is sponsored by the UCSB Childcare Advisory Committee (CCAC) and made possible by generous contributions from many different units on campus. In addition, Children's Day will be staffed by faculty, staff and student volunteers who generously donate their time, effort and good cheer.
A description of the day's activities, as well as the registration and consent forms, can be found at: http://childcare.sa.ucsb.edu/childrensday. Be sure to sign up right away! We have room for only 100 children and spaces in activity tracks will be filled in the order that registration forms are received.
Hard copies of all consent forms (and a copy of your child's medical insurance card) MUST be sent to Wendy Nishikawa, Co-Chair of Children's Day, at Human Resources (mail code 3160) by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 21, 2008. This free event will be on a first come, first served basis and is limited to 100 children. Hope to see you and your kid(s) on April 4th!
If you have any questions, please contact Wendy Nishikawa at (805)893-7323, e-mail: wendy.nishikawa@hr.ucsb.edu .
