Not another New Year Post

As much as we hate to be part of the mainstream, we have to say that we're looking so forward to 2008, it's not even funny. We have had some hilarious moments, including:

• A 4-year-old deliberately wetting his pants so he could wear a dress without worrying about it
• A kid in the toddler room going to the kitchen set and making a meal of "soup and tacos" for everyone else
• Babies in huge diapers dancing to reggae music
• Our staff dinner in which the rabbi almost went home with lingerie after the random gift exchange
• Kids telling knock-knock jokes with no regard to logic whatsoever (Knock-knock, who's there? It's ME! Want a smoothie?)

This year, we have a lot of goals:

• To expand our preschool classroom to 16-20 students with two teachers
• To enroll 10 more kids in the school-age afterschool program
• Reach out to more families with children who have special needs
• Coordinate community service opportunities for teens
• Raise a serious amount of cash in our Crafters Smackdown fundraiser in February
• Start serving hot lunches to every kid in our facility

Is that enough? Probably not. We're big on overachieving here!

All of this takes a lot of effort and parent volunteers. Luckily, we have a committee helping us with the fundraising portion of things.

We want so much because we have so much. Thanks again for a great year and here's to an even better one next year!
