Britain Center Weekly Notes

Mar. 17-Mar. 21

ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM AMY

·  Our new website will go live on Friday, March 14! Please take a look and be sure that you are comfortable with any pictures of you or your child that is on the website. If you have not signed a media release, I have tried very hard to ensure that your child’s photo is not on the website. Again, I want everyone to be comfortable with any photos, so please alert me if you have any concerns and I will immediately delete them. Our website is just at a starting point and we still have a lot of additional content to add and we will continue to work on it, so if you have any suggestions please email me at . It’s a WORK IN PROGRESS!

·  Reminder: We are closed for spring break the week of March 17-21 AND Monday, March 24 for a staff inservice with Mary Massery, a PT from Chicago.

·  Mary Massery is offering a three day continuing education course that might be of some interest to you: Here is the link: http://www.kcpaforkids.org/Massery%20Conference%20Brochure%209-30-13.pdf
