The center is closed Monday, Sept. 2nd for Labor Day.  Hope you all have a wonderful long weekend!

We are so excited!  The start of a new school year for our boys and girls is just around the corner!  The friends who are getting ready to move up to the next classroom have been visiting their new rooms and getting to know their new teachers.  Our new Kindergarten class is ready to start their "Big School" experience - Mrs. Layer has a wonderful year in store for you!

Okay, we're in the home stretch.  Only two more weeks before the new school year begins and so we're going to pack in as much fun as we possibly can! 

Some of our friends are leaving early for some last summer family adventures.  We wish you well and look forward to seeing you next summer!

Just wanted to give another big THANK YOU out to Tri City Party Rentals and Event Services.  They brought out a big bounce house for the carnival.  As a non-profit they really worked with us on price, great service too.

Last week's carnival was such a great time!  It's the one evening during the year that we get together as a center to visit and play - priceless.  The boys and girls have so much fun and parents get a chance to get to know each other.

We'd like to take the time to thank everyone that contributed to our success:

Allen Sprunger and family of Apple Valley Orchard who provided train rides to the children all evening.  He volunteered his time, train and gas.  He came even though it was his wedding anniversary! Thanks to his lovely wife, Gloria Sprunger for understanding!

Miss Di for seeking out so many of the donations, planning and setting up.
Michelle Lubbe for sewing all the items for the children's raffle - doll clothes, blanket and bows.
The Schlicker Family for putting together the Crayola basket for children's raffle.
The School Age class for decorating the Maze!

It takes a village to build a two hour carnival!  The fun, fellowship and memories are worth it! 

We're glad you could make it!
