That's right! 19 more days until the holiday break!!! I can already see sugar plums dancing in the children's eyes!
 December 7, next Friday, is the next half day. Make sure to let us know you're coming and it's never too early to give the $20 for the half day to Valerie!December 6th is picture day, and even though it had nothing to do with Empire, just the Ella Baker School, we still wanted to remind you.
 A lot of great things are happening at Empire in the next month, so be sure to check out the December newsletter coming out this Friday and next Monday to stay on top of any upcoming events, or check in here anytime!

Ballet, Cold Weather, Thanksgiving Feast, and Schedule Changes

 The parent teacher conferences on still going, so please please call if you're confused about where the kids are, and don't forget to check the message board by the security desk for any room changes, and there will be!!!
 It's cold, so we are trying our hardest to keep track of all your child's belongings. We would love it if gloves,scarves, and hats are marked on the tags with your child's name, we would be more than happy to do it ourselves, but only with your permisson!
 Thanksgiving feast!!!! I love food, I love making food, and I love sharing food with the people I care about, you guys!
 Tuesday November 20, we are having an Empire feast! The schedule will be a little different so we can all enjoy food together. We would love it if you donated some food and/or drink to our party! I'll be making chili (turkey), and I should mention that this chili is awesome,and Jackie was talking about picking up some roasted chickens.......so much fun!
 Let us know what you'd like to bring!

UPDATE!

Bad news guys! The weather is not looking good at all for this afternoon/evening, we are going to have to cancel swim.
 I know, we will work on trying to get make up days set up, but for the moment, we have to cancel swim because it will get really bad outside, really soon.
 I am very sorry, but please feel free to call or email your questions/concerns and we are more than happy to work with you!
 Your child's sagety is our biggest concern, and it just wouldn't be safe to go swimming today downtown.
 So sorry!

Back to Swim!

Hey guys! Swim is back on track!
 It's also pretty cold out, we heard there might be snow tonight! Yikes...after all we've been through, I don't know if I'm ready for snow on top of all of this. But, whatever comes our way, I'm sure we can pull though!
 We're extending the deadline for payments of this month (November) until the 15th so everyone has a little extra time.
 I hope you are all staying strong and aren't we glad to be back school? I know I am!

Rumor has it.....

Sooooooo, did you catch Bloomberg's conference? Yeah....no school tomorrow or Friday. I mean, I'm a big fan of snow days and all, but this is pushing it!!!
 Again, I hope you are all safe and if you don't have power, you are more than welcome to come to my place to chill. I'll see you all Monday!!!!
