September 15-19 Crocs & Athletic Shoes Recycling
Add a new element of recycling into your family’s lives by donating worn out Crocs (or Crocs look a likes) and athletic shoes (any brand) to DHUMP so they can be recycled into new products. Look for a box in the hallway. By doing so you will:
- divert waste from our landfill
- save resources
- teach our kids the importance of helping our environment & helping others less fortunate
To learn more about Croc’s click on SolesUnited and NIKE’s Reuse-A-Shoe recycling programs. Please NO cleats or dress shoes.

Preschool Tip of the Month
Please have your child arrive in their classroom on time. Class begins at 9:30. This helps reduce the crying and encourages a smooth transition for everyone. If your child cries during drop off we recommend a hug, a kiss and reassurance that you will pick them up later–then make a quick exit. We will contact you if there is a problem.

FAQ’s
How much is my child’s tuition? When is Fellini’s Pizza Day? Why does Fellini’s donate pizza to our preschool? When are DHUMP’s school closings? When is the Bloomin Bash? Who is performing on Cultural Arts Day? All of these answers can be found on DHUMP’s web calendar.
