From the Archives- Let's Raise Some Fun!

Hey everyone!
 
I’m Emily, an intern for Daytime Moon. I have had the pleasure of  being a volunteer for our fall and spring programs and have worked with many amazing kids. I am very excited to be blogging and sharing Daytime Moon’s latest programs and news!
July is a very exciting month here at Daytime Moon Creations! Our Summer Workshop series begins on July 7th, Daytime Moon was featured in Autism Spectrum News and we just launched a public YouTube channel. So subscribe to see all the videos from our classrooms!
Our Summer Workshop Series marks an exciting time in Daytime Moon’s growth- our first social media campaign that connects fundraising to programming and gives everyone a front row seat for the exciting results! The workshop series will bring in established artists in a variety of fields from film to music, storytelling to dance to each teach one workshop for our students. Kids can sign up for as many classes as they’d like, and each class will be creating projects to share with our friends, family and community. The sharing is the most exciting part: participants will be sharing tweets, teachers will be writing journals on our blog and our projects will be broadcasted on our newly public YouTube channel. Our first video went live on Wednesday!
Ever wondered what the theories behind all of Daytime Moon’s success are? Well now some of them are published! Autism Spectrum News is an award winning publication by Mental Health News. Their summer issue focuses on “Vital Supports and Services in the Community” and features an article  by Daytime Moon Creations executive director Jenna Gabriel. Jenna’s article, entitled “Everyone Can Play: Using Theatre to Promote Developmental Gains,” addresses the vital role of play and recreational programming play in the development of language and social skills.


In addition to all our exciting programming and press, Daytime moon will also be hosting a fundraiser at Josie Woods’s Pub, 11 Waverly Place, this Friday July 13th at 7:30. A $40 donation at the door includes 5 drinks, food and a $15 tax-deductible donation to Daytime Moon Creations. For more information, check out the facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/events/242312595887189/

I hope to see you there!

I can’t wait for our summer session to start and to share more exciting updates with you!
Emily
