“Giving Back to Community Commitment”
I would like to share our current “Giving Back to Community Commitment.” We’ve teamed up with Moon Valley residents Chuck and Nancy Smith, who for more than 20 years have packaged and delivered Holiday Care Packages to local families in need. We’re collecting new unwrapped toys for children of all ages, toiletries, towels, food, cold weather clothes, small appliances, gift cards, or whatever else your heart feels led to give. They are not a non-profit or organization of any kind, just a kind, loving couple doing what they can to help their community (they’re expecting more than 90 families to be on their list this year). If you can help, please drop off items at our academy M-F from 6am-6pm. They’ll be delivering the care packages later next week. OR, if your family, business or neighborhood would like to adopt a family, let me know and I’ll get you in touch with Chuck or Nancy. THANK YOU!!!

Hello world!
Achieving excellence as a result of Interactive, Hands-on, Accelerated Curriculum Based Learning. Whether we’re furthering the educational experience of a 4-year old, cultivating a toddler’s talents, or introducing an infant to art, it’s not about what we put into children, but what we bring out of them!
What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?
This was the question posed to a group of our 3, 4 and 5 year olds. Some of the answers were a football player, fireman, ballerina, teacher. My favorite response was: “I want to be a doctor so I can give lots of HUGS! The world needs more hugs.”
WOW! From the mouth of a three year old. We should ALL remember the innocence…..
What is in a HUG? Endorphins. Those natural “feel good” hormones that are released when you are the recipient of a positive action, as well as when you perform something positive. And when you feel good, life becomes easier and healthier. Many different studies have been done throughout the ages with similar results; three of the “biggies” being: endorphins can lower blood pressure, aid in curing depression and help relieve stress.
And the best part, HUGS are FREE! Who doesn’t love freebies??
So have you hugged your child, a loved one or a friend today? This week? This month?? Remember how you felt the last time you were blessed with an amazing hug from a special person? For me, a hug gives me warm fuzzies, the weight of the world seems to fall off my shoulders, and it makes me Smile! I see sunshine, rainbows and silver linings replace those gray and gloomy clouds. Then, as that infamous clothing company quotes, “Life is Good!”
Now, I challenge you as we are challenging our students — to become a Daily Hugger. If we all shared just one hug a day, the positive impact will be immeasurable! So come on, join us in creating some endorphins!
Who have you hugged today?
