The Mayor of MSN’s Favorite Parts of Coming to Program
I like coming to program because my friends are here. My best friend is Megan, my staff, because she makes me laugh. I like beading and sorting dominos. I like puzzles and trains. I want to go with my friends here to a baseball game. I like to make bus calls all day.
April Birthdays:
We just celebrated Maryann’s, Kelly and Joey’s Birthdays in MSN. We all enjoyed cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday! Maryann said she loved the cupcakes and flowers that were given to her. Maryann’s favorite part of the day was sorting buttons, making shapes and designs on a light bright board, karaoke and dance and helping with planning cooking clubs. After program Maryann went home and celebrated her birthday by having pizza and eating cake.

I also love seeing locals schools and communities perform musicals as well. It’s such a great way to support the arts! Additionally, I love to run! I run around local parks and I also workout at the gym while listening to music to pump me up.
