During this time of transition and closure, it is time for us to say good-by to a few of our fantastic teachers.  We are sad to announce that Jessica, Jim and Beth are moving from the Boston area to begin a new chapter in their lives. Jenna will also be changing her career track and exploring new opportunites within the field of education and beyond.

Jessica will be moving to New York to continue her education at Columbia Teachers College to obtain her MEd in Special Education.   Jim will also be moving to New York to live his dream while attending Pace University to become a Theater Director.  Beth recently decided to move back home to be closer to her family as she is about to become an Aunt.  We wish them all well and look forward to keeping in touch and sharing their successes with us in years to come.

We are very happy to announce that Malaina, Alyssa, Caitlyn, Jared, Sidoney and Brianna will be returing to Heath Extended Day with a new and energized curriculum for the 2010-2011 school year.  The Heath Extended Day teaching team is excieted to see how much your child grows and matures over the summer.  We are also looking forward to meeting new families and smiling faces come September.

The 2009-2010 school year has been a tremendous success!  We have appreciated each families invovement, kindness and generosity.  It has been a pleasure to learn and grow with your child during the past 10 months.  We wish you a safe and relaxing summer and look forward to seeing each of you come September.  It addition, we encourage the HEDP graduates and families who will be finding other afterschool options to keep in touch.  We are proud to be your "Extended" family!
