Some animals hide for the winter, but we at Daytime Moon went
into hiding during a different season. We have spent the dog days of
summer hard at work!
After an incredibly successful program with the kids at the New York
Center for Autism Charter School and an amazing performance of “The Best
Show Ever” by Meredith Hackman and Cooke Center Academy Intern Nagisa
Mikami, we got to work overhauling our website, embracing the wide world
of social media (get ready for our newsletter!!!) and prepping for a
fall that will be full of exciting programs and new partnerships!
So first, I should tell you about “The Best Show Ever!” The name was
definitely an understatement, as our kids really were spectacular. The
show chronicled a group of bands selected to play at Madison Square
Garden for a one night concert. After being told that there will only be
time for one band, the bands audition for each other before everyone
realizes that they’ll put on a much better show if they all play
together. Featuring original music by the kids with the help of
songwriter Matt Mazur and multimedia design by the whole group, “The
Best Show Ever” was huge success!
Which brings us to everything on the horizon! After a lot of work,
the new website will be live by the end of the week. It will have tons
of never before seen pictures and videos, as well as new ways to find us
on twitter and facebook. Also, it will have bios of our teachers and
staff, plus an incredible look at the true stars of Daytime Moon: the
exceptional kids we get to work with. And to give you the real teaser…
Our fall programs are in the last stages of being finalized. So keep
checking back, because we’ll be announcing dates really soon.
That’s about all here on our end. Hope you’ve had a great summer. We’re back in action here, so we’ll be seeing you soon!
Lots of love,
Jenna
