Rainbow Preschool Book Sale a Success

Jim Militello and Charlie Brittain with Books are Fun

Thank you to everyone who stopped by Rainbow Preschool's Book Fair yesterday!  Sales topped $1,100 and the Preschool made $112 profit.  The money raised will purchase some new theme items for the Socio-Dramatic Play Center.  The Play Center is dedicated in memory of Rachel Miller who was a Speech-Language Therapist at the Preschool.  This area is currently set up as a grocery store where the students can interact socially in "real-life" play; next up: a pizza shop.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day from all of us

Dayhab OPTS Gives Back to Our Local Community

In the months of November and December 2013, the Dayhab OPTS program, staff and individuals served, were busy giving back to our community!

They held a garage sale to benefit a family that they adopted for the holidays.  Gifts were purchased with the $345 that was raised.  The group also provided Thanksgiving and Christmas meals as well as gift cards, personal cleaning supplies and a spa basket for their adopted family. 

The Dayhab group also created a mitten tree.  Mittens, gloves, coats, and hats were collected and donated to those in need.  To finish off the year, they held a food drive that benefited the local food pantry.
