A Note from our Executive Director
Dear friend,
There is a picture of me with a baby from my first year at IVYP, that always warms my heart. She must have been not quite two years old when she reached up to give me a high five. I visited our Children’s Center today. This same little girl is in our pre-K class. She is so grown up!
One of the great privileges of working with children is getting to see them grow and develop. I love hearing them begin to use complicated language, express their feelings, and share with their friends. It is especially gratifying that they remember me. I feel so lucky to know that our work enriches the lives of children and families every day. We could not do this work without your help.
This time of year always feels like a “new year” to me. It’s the beginning of the Jewish New Year – Rosh Hashana, as well as the new school year. So, I wish you all a “Happy New Year.” Let’s invest in our relationships with the children in our lives and with one another.
Lori Goodman
Executive Director
