-News from TLC Fun Zone
| During the month of January the cold and bad weather kept us from going outside, yet we still had a great time. The children have enjoyed many winter crafts activities, such as painting wintry scenes with shaving cream and glue, making their own snowman, making snowballs from tissue paper and glue and making winter gloves and hats crafts. The children have been involved in many different contests such as model magic art, Popsicle stick creations and even winter foam shapes pictures.
The boys enjoy playing legos and ping-pong, while the girls enjoy making bracelets and necklaces. They all enjoy the Wii and even spent some quiet time coloring, reading, or challenging each other with word searches.
The children have been playing many interesting games for prizes such as musical chairs, limbo, Bingo and even snowball throw. They all cooperated in the making of popcorn balls, which were made with marshmallow, and popcorn, and after they all enjoyed eating.
Martin Luther King's Day was a success. The children participated in making their own pudding for snack, as well as various crafts to take home. They all played freeze dance in the gym for prizes. Throughout sign-up day the children where reminded about the importance of Martin Luther King and his dream.
This month the children will do more winter crafts as well as Valentine's Day crafts. They will be having a Valentine's Day Party on Monday, February 14th. Please make sure your child brings Valentine's cards to give out to their Fun Zone buddies.
To sum up I would like to congratulate Ashley D. on her January 27th birthday, hope that your birthday was as special as you.
As always, thank you parents for all of your support and cooperation as it is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Fun Zone.

A Call for TLC Board Members |
TLC is growing everyday, and we are in need of current parents or Trumbull residents who truly see the need for TLC to continue developing its mission of providing quality childcare to Trumbull's working parents.
Have you been thinking of taking a more active role in your community? Here is your opportunity. TLC is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and all parents are welcome to become involved in the program by becoming members of the Board. Parent representation and input are vital to TLC's continued success. It's a great way to help shape the future of the program and share in managing TLC's growth.
The Board of Directors meets once a month at 6:30 pm, at our Fun Zone Center, located behind Daniels Farm Elementary School, at 720 Daniels Farm Road.
Nominations for next year's new Board Members are being accepted now. If you are interested, please contact TLC's Executive Director, Ken McCabe, at the TLC office, (203)452-9626, or by email: [email protected] for more information.
