Heyhey!
 Don't forget that Decmenber is on it's way so December payments will be due. Also, there is a half day this FRIDAY! Meaning, you gotta sign up with Valerie by tomorrow at 12pm!It's only $10 and the big kids will probably get to go to Central Park again if the weather isn't too bad.
 I want to give a HUGE thank you to Stella Lieberman and her mom Lauren! Thank you so much for your donations to our after school, we greatly appreciate it and it means so much to us!Thanks again for all your support!

Almost there!!!

Heyhey!
 Oh man, we're getting so close to Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because I get to go home to West Virginia and eat food!  When the Ellsworths get together we usually break out the instruments and start jamming, it's always a party at the Ellsworths! If you're heading towards West Virginia, you should stop by!!
 Anywho, I digress, today, the schedule will be slightly different because each group will get to hang in the basement for a bit to eat some pie, drink some hot chocolate, and of course, play games!!! We're going to talk about what we're thankful for and all that jazz!
 Again, we don't offer childcare for the Thanksgiving break, BUT we hope you have a great one!

Rainy days.....

Looks like a rainy day today...so that means that each group will have an alternative to being outside today. This is a blessing in disguise I feel because each group is currently working on the end of the semester SHOWCASE!

 Showcase? YES, showcase! On December 13, a Tuesday, 2011, Empire will be holding a end of the semester show for all you parents! You'll get to see singing,ballet, Capoeria, acting, and yoga! This is a chance to see our after school and what we're made of! Our showcase is just a few weeks away, so made sure to mark your calendars!
 December 13, 2011, 4:30pm Rm100!!!
 Can't wait to see you there!

Half Day!

Another Half Day is upon us! The schedule for Tuesday Nov.15's half day will be posted all over the school! It looks like rain and all the classrooms will be used up tomorrow, so the kids will be using the basement, the art room (which is in the basement), and the 5th Fl cafeteria.
 If your child is in 4th grade and up, they will be at the 67th street Library (across the street from JREC) from 4pm-5pm doing homework and reading books!
 The schedule is very specific this time so you'll know exactly where we are. Feel free to call or email anytime for more info!!

Sun, Keep on Shining!

It's lovely outside! If you came to the holiday program yesterday, I hope you had fun! Don't forget we have another program running on Friday!
 Since Day Light Savings has occurred, when some of our kids go outside, it's dark! We won't change up the schedule because we don't want to confuse anyone, but some groups will have shorter outside time, and in the 1st grader's case, staying in the Alleyway.
 Meaning, if your child is in the first grade, they will be playing in the Alleyway at 4:40 on Mondays and Wednesdays. I will make the changes to the schedule today!
 Don't forget, We don't offer childcare during the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Thanks!

Hey hey! Thanks for visiting the blog to see our videos! I had a lot of fun putting them together and I've already started working on the next one!
 Tomorrow is our Half Day and sorry to say, we have capped it! The prek-1st will hang out, play games, and watch Space Jam in the basement. 2nd grade and up will be in Central Park until about 1:45pm if the weather is nice. The half day schedule will be posted around the building, so be sure to look for it!

 Next week has two holidays in it! Wow! Need a fun place for your kid to hang out? Come to Empire! We will be picking up kids in front of Ella Baker 7:45-8:15am, then going to the Earth school (located at 6th street and ave b) for cooking, woodworking, and soccer! You can pick up your child in front of Ella Baker between 5-6pm. Feel free to email or call for more info and there are applications in the basement!
