✨ Wish List Wednesday! ✨
It’s the first Wednesday of the month, and that means it’s time for Wish List Wednesday!

Why do we have a wish list? Because keeping our overhead costs low allows us to continue offering purposeful programs for families—at no cost. 💜

This time of year, we’re busy combating cooties, so we’re currently in need of:
🧴 Hand soap
🤧 Kleenex
🧻 Paper towels

Plus, our Memory Makers program will be back in action later this month, and they could use:
✂️ Tape runners
📘 Scrapbooking sleeves

Every donation, big or small, helps us keep the Playhouse shining and ready for all our amazing families! Thank you for supporting us in such practical ways! 💛

Many of our staff and board members will be attending the National GiGi’s Conference from November 6–9, so the Playhouse will be closed during that time. We’re excited to connect, learn, and bring back fresh ideas to make our programs even better! 💡💜

Today wasn’t just any manic Monday—especially for Ms. Pam!
A transition that has been in the works for months is now complete, and some might even say the scepter has officially been passed to our new leader.

Pam has officially stepped into her new part-time role as Marketing and Events Coordinator, where she will oversee our social media platforms and blogs, graphic design, newsletters, and the coordination of special events.

This shift will allow Nate to focus on day-to-day operations, grant writing, and donor development—all while Pam continues to bring her creative spark to our marketing and events, and serve as a trusted sounding board for staff, with her 9.5 years of experience and knowledge within our Playhouse walls.

Pam is looking forward to enjoying a bit more time with the cutie behind the glasses and mustache, her recently retired hubby, and tending to her beloved flowers. 🌸

Congratulations to our very own Ms Anna on a successful production as Madame Arcati in Blithe Spirit at Playcrafters. Pam & Ann sure hope she doesn't go into a trance when she's at work. But seriously, well done Anna and other cast members!

We’re so thankful to everyone who gave. Because of supporters like you, children and adults like Savannah, John, Mycah, and GiGi continue to learn, achieve, and build confidence through our free programs. ​

But if you haven’t had a chance to give yet, there’s still time to make an impact and help us continue changing lives. ​​

While Down Syndrome Awareness Month may be over, our work continues.​

As we close out Down Syndrome Awareness Month, help us keep the momentum going. Help more voices be heard.​
