Dear Friends,

The winds of change are upon us and a wonderful era is coming to an end. We are happy to announce a bittersweet departure as Cara Leonard, our beloved assistant director, moves on to a new chapter in her life with a position at Next Generation Children's Center in Westford, MA.

Cara has been involved in the company since it began in 1998 and has been the face of our 31 Union Avenue location since we opened in June, 2007. She always brought a smile to her work and to all of our studio families. Her no-nonsense attitude struck a great balance with her humor and wit. She has been an integral part of the company and will be dearly missed by staff, students, and parents.

Cara and I remain great friends and will continue to support each other in all our endeavors. I'm certain you will see Cara around the studio and at various events.

Cara's last day will be Friday, January 29 and we hope that you will have a chance to thank her for all she's done and wish her the best of luck as she makes this career change.

In the meantime, Jessica Tarr and Carla Gerken will be handling basic front desk duties but the majority of communication for the time being will be with Samm. Samm can be reached anytime for questions at 978-443-2400 or via email. Cara's PAC email address will be discontinued in February.

It has been a wonderful 3 years and we couldn't have asked for a better partnership.

Warm regards,
Samm & Cara
