On Tuesday, July 14th we had an open house to celebrate our 15 year anniversary!  We had such a great turnout and were so lucky that weather cooperated with us!  We had a potluck dinner which included some really delicious booyah made by one of our dads, Jon.  Thanks everyone for all the contributions!  For a sweet treat, we had dilly bars from DQ, brought to us by one of our dads, Chad.  Jake's Jumpers provided us with a dunk tank- the kids had a blast soaking their teachers! The kids themselves were able to get wet, too, we had our water tables open as well as some fun water play games. Kidz Town came out to do henna tattoos, most of us are sporting some new ink! We also unveiled our new water and music walls which were built by our parent volunteers!  The kids loved them, however, they are not as kid-proof as we were hoping... 

And of course... the basket raffle!  I am overwhelmed with appreciation for the awesome baskets we were able to put together with family and teacher donations!  We had 10 different baskets; Wisconsin Sports, Wine and Cheese, Movie Night, Game Night, Dog, Lego/Minecraft, Beach, Disney and 2 Flowers.  

The raffle was hugely successful, we should now be able to eliminate the smaller, more tedious fundraisers we do throughout the year!  I'm so happy for the families who won the baskets- I hope you love all the treasures you found inside!

So many people contributed to the success of this party- our staff, families, and friends helped pull it all together!  I love the sense of community we have created at our center, it grows stronger every day!  Here's to another 15 years!

 I would also like to extend a special congratulations to Tracy and her family- be proud, the butterfly has emerged!

There was lots of fun to be had in DePere this week!  Tie-dyeing, making lemonade, Michael Murphy, field trips galore, bubbles and more! 

Have a fun, safe holiday weekend!
