It’s a
NEW DAY
Dear Center Community, It’s cold out, we’ve made it through the holidays and the new year is around the corner yet again. Our theme this Winter, “It’s a New Day” reflects the rhythm we all go through with a new year. However, instead of lofty New Year resolutions, let’s look at the newness each day has to offer as we give to others and to ourselves. So, as you wake up to cold mornings this winter, don’t crawl too far under the covers. We have activities catered to your entire family that will keep you warm, healthy, and ready for a new day.
Anthony Mejia
Center Executive Director
