Man! It's warm! You will definately see our kids outside enjoying the weather today.
Today is also the last day to wrap presents! I brought in some new things to choose from so donate $5 today and have a present from your little one on your holiday!
Don't forget next week Empire is offering Holiday Programming Monday-Friday. It's only $50 a day,8:30-6. Sweet deal! If you are a package holder, meaning you paid for the entire year all at once, then your child comes for free. Even sweeter!

Empire Pizza Party!
OH BOY! I've been waiting for this pizza party! I LOVE having a good time and today is going to be great!
The Schedule will be CHANGED today for the party, AND it looks like rain for the rest of the day....darn. But making gram cracker houses,eating pizza, and dancing should be enough fun to help forget about the rain.
Thank you to everyone who gave $5 for a DVD or gift wrapping! Thanks to you we can have a stellar party and YOU will have a gift waiting to be opened for your holidays! Since the gift wrapping was so popular I'm bringing in a few more gifts today just in case! If there's a big enough demand for it, we can extend the wrapping till Thursday, but since I won't be at school on Friday ( I gotta high tail it to DC!) I won't be around to run the wrapping session.
So, hopefully everyone who wants to gift wrap can do it today!
Thank you again to everyone for their best wishes, donations, and positive outlook on life itself.
Peace to you my friend!
P.S. Don't forget that next Empire will be running Holiday Programming Monday thru Friday!!! Valerie sent out an email so be sure to check it out. There are hard copies of the application for next week in the basement!

Baby, it's cold outside!
The sun is out, but there's a chill in the air! It may not be snowing, but this weather is fantastic.....
Today and tomorrow are the last days to send money and have your lil ones wrap something nice for you during the holidays! Don't forget that all the money from the gift wrapping and DVDs go straight to the pizza party on Wednesday!!

What a lovely day!
It's just beautiful outside today! I can't believe that it's December and that it feels like September......weird....
Anywho, I'm bringing some DVDs in today for people to purchase for their loved ones,friends, or just to have forever! The DVD includes the showcase ( which is broken up into 3 parts) and the slideshow. I made about 20 copies, so if there are none left by the time you get to me today, I'll have more on Monday.
We're also starting the gift wrapping today. Give your child $5 (or myself or Val) and they can choose several gifts to wrap for you, the babysitter, or grandma! If they don't get a chance this afternoon, we will be gift wrapping Monday and Tuesday as well.
Empire will be having a pizza party for the Empire KIDS on Wednesday Dec.21.....I capitalized KIDS because Parents eat bigger slices of pizza, and we can't have that! But feel free to come and enjoy the holiday season with us, eat sensible slices of pizza ( leave some for the kids) and have some good ol fashioned fun!

How awesome!
That was fantastic! I had so much fun! I hope you did too. If you'd like to keep the slideshow (which is awesome) and the showcase forever and ever, or give to a friend or family member, I would be more than hapy to give you a copy! PLease let me or Valerie know you'd like to have one, give us $5 and your wish is granted! All the sweet sweet money we make off this sweet sweet DVD go straight to the holiday pizza party!!!!!
I never have enough time to talk to every parent after a show like this, but I'm dying to know what you thought, so please feel free to drop a comment at the blog! Thank you all so much for coming! I'm editing the showcase now, and I'll post it up.
But if you buy the DVD, the showcase will be "pumped up" so your $5 is the best $5 you ever spent!

This showcase is to give each group a chance to show what they're made of and to show you, the parent what our after school program is all about.
