Do you know why no one wants to be “late” for our summer program? Because it’s magical, enchanting, astonishing, entertaining, never boring, all out fun! Yes, that’s all true, but it’s mainly because of Maryanne Gates, Elaine McDonough, and Wendy Rooney our summer program instructors, mixed with a terrific group of kids! Disappointingly, this summer, Elaine McDonough cannot be with us because of a prior commitment, however, Cindy Murphy will be taking over for Elaine this year. Elaine has been a vital part of summer program and we will miss her, and hope she can be back with us next year.
