Good news, Bad news....

 OH man, today is SUPPOSED to be our first day of ballet......but......The teacher is sick! So, that means an extra class has be added on AND kids still get to come to ballet today with me and have some fun.
 How qualified am I? At SUNY purchase, not only was I in the music conservatory 2004-2008, but I wrote for dancers AND collaborated with dancers 2006-2008. I'm super exicted to get the kids dressed and get them ready for another great semester with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company!
 Also, for tomorrow's half day, grades 2nd and up will be in Central Park 12pm-1:30pm. We will be running sports in the park, so please let us know if you'd like your child to NOT go to the park.

Keep on Moving!

Another great day! Did you know that we're having a summer camp open house Feb.8th at 5pm in the Ella Baker Cafeteria. Hooray! Come to learn about camp!

Nice weather we have!

 I know it's a little chilly, but all of our after school groups will still get a little outside time today, not a lot,but just enough to get some fresh air!
 Don't forget that this Friday is a half day! YES! That means that you MUST sign up AND pay with Valerie before 12 noon Thursday. Also, February tuition will be due, so make sure you're all squared up with us here at Empire so your child's afternoon can continue to be awesome,educational, and FUN!
 There will be a brand new newsletter available this Wednesday,February 1st.All of our Team Leaders will have them for you when you pick up Wednesday,Valerie will email it you, AND there will be hard copies in the basement! Thank you and have a groovy day!
