End of the Year Review

As the school year comes to a close, we wanted to take this opportunity to recap all the things that have happened over the course of the year---
In the fall we launched a new Fine Arts program providing weekly music, art and movement classes for our preschool and pre-kindergarten students. We also launched our new L&T website that features videos, online donation capabilities and of course, the new blog.
This winter we opened a new morning preschool class to accommodate growing demand and hired a new SLP to provide Parent Infant and therapy services. We also hosted our 3rd Annual Hearts of Love breakfast, raising $40,000 for our programs.
In the spring, we held two fundraising events- a team at the Kirkland Half Marathon and a Document Shredding event, which combined grossed nearly $2500. As in the spring, Legislation was passed that reorganizes state services to children with hearing loss.
More recently, Listen and Talk announced that Audiological services will be offered starting in the fall. And last week, two new raised garden beds were installed, so the preschool and pre-k students will have the opportunity to grow flowers and vegetables.
It has been a great year full of exciting changes and growth and we thank all our families and donors for their support.
