It’s summertime again and I hope you’re ready for some exciting activities! I am very excited to start off another summer filled with fun. There is a detailed calendar attached as well as permission slips for the park program *The permission slip for the park must BE FILLED out whether your child attends the park daily or once in a while. Please read them carefully and hand them to me, Samantha, at the park program. The park is a great place for children 5 and up to come meet new kids, hang out with friends, and play lots of games. Children four and younger will require their own parental supervision unless told otherwise. Our first concern is the safety of all children regardless of age. Please read the forms that are attached and know that it is very important for us to receive them back so we can account for every child, every day.

This summer the park program runs daily from Monday, July 10th to Friday, August 18th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Ganser- Smith Park. Please do not bring your child before 9 a.m. and please be there for pick up at 12:00 p.m. The park program is subject to close under my discretion due to weather. We will also put out a message on Facebook if the program will be closed for the day (Page: Village of Menands). Please know that all children are required to sign in and out whenever they attend the park program.

A quick reminder for everyone regarding daily activity: I would recommend that all children bring with them a drink, snack, sunscreen, and a towel. If you want to bring a plastic cup you can leave it at the park with your name on it so you have it every day. Please do not bring glass. Although there are days that we have snacks and drinks, they are not provided daily. I look forward to seeing everyone this summer and as always if you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns please feel free to call me at 518-992-5509 or visit me at the park.

Thank you,
