Unbelievable. The DOE spent $$ on the courier, that did not deliver your letter, then they spent more $$ on special deliver express mail and yet they are making budget cuts to our schools?!! Where's the logic? [ Reply | More

PLEASE PLEASE take your child to SWEET SOUL MOVEMENT. They are in SOHO now but building a brand new CREATIVE CENTER for children and their FAMILIES!!!!! The director is absolutely amazing, she is a parent, a professional performer and has dual degrees in early childhood education and social work. I wouldn't send my child anywhere else. She teaches the LOVE of self expression and art, and somehow gets the children doing things that I have seen kids in much older classes do. My kids BEG to go, they are now taking several classes a week. Go to www.sweetsoulmovement.com and to the testimonial page, you will see!!! Good luck. [ Reply | More
