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!

EMPIRE SHOWCASE!

 The showcase is today!!!!! HHHOOOORRRAAAYYY! There will be ballet,singing,acting, and of course an art gallery! The showcase is at 4:30-m in rm100, after the showcase come to the basement to check out the art show AND the special dvd I made.
 What? A special surprise made by Bridget? Yes, it is awesome. I put together video clips,pictures,and groovy music to help keep the memories of Empire.
 If you love the video, and I know you will, you can ask for one, it only costs a dollar!
 Thank you in advance!
 Sad you can't make the showcase? It's ok, my feelings aren't hurt. But you should be happy to hear that we're video taping the whole showcase and taking pictures! Those should be posted onto the blog this week!

Another rainy day!

Oh boy, here comes the rain! No need to worry, we have Salvador our Yoga teacher here today and all the groups need some time to work on their showcase performances!
 So, that means a rainy day schedule will be posted so none of the kids have to play in the rain! Please take a moment before picking up your child to look at the schedule posted on the message board by the security desk,the door leading to the basement, the basement door, and of course, the second floor message board.
 Showcase? YES! Showcase! I'm so excited for our showcase NEXT WEEK! Dec.13, a Tuesday, at 4:30pm. Rm100 and please please come to the gallery or art downstairs in the basement afterwards.
 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.
 Yes we keep your child safe, yes we help with homework, and yes we have a great time! Don't listen to me rattle on and on about how I have the greatest job in the world, come on Tuesday and see for yourself!
 Be sure to grab a newsletter today from our friendly after school staff and if you can't come next Tuesday, I'll be videotaping and taking pictures and posting them on the blog.

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!
