A MERRY CELEBRATION
Families involved in the Leaps & Bounds Early Childhood Program
celebrated together on the evening December 21 with a holiday party in
the media center of Onekama School. More than 100 guests were on hand to
watch a touching production by the Leaps & Bounds children.
Leaps & Bounds Director Amy
Brown led the children – including the infants and toddlers in the
daycare program, the three and four year old preschoolers, and the
school-age children in the aftercare program – in a cooperative
“Counting Christmas” presentation. Older students pulled a sleigh
carrying infants, and held hands with their preschool buddies.
“The holiday party is an expression of what is best about the Leaps &
Bounds program,” explained Brown. “We are here to serve families, and
the children who are a part of our program form special connections with
children of all ages. We have become one large family that cares about
and supports one another.” |
The children performed a series
of songs, and they were visited by a very special guest. Santa stopped
by the party and had time to give each child a turn on his lap and to
wish all of the families a very jolly Christmas.
Four-year old Leaps & Bounds
preschool students Libby and Sarah get into the holiday spirit.
