Happy Holidays!

Santa arrived on schedule to the Brahma House and TLP parties and officially kicked off the holiday celebration with his "enthusiastic" 12 Days of Christmas. The gifts were piled high and the kids couldn't have been happier! Thank you to everyone who shopped, wrapped, decorated and contributed to make this holiday celebration better than ever.


Looking Good!

Sara was one of the winners of our "best dressed" award, but her fashion sense is also shared by Alison and Megan.

The staff party was a fun time to share some down time with each other. We also added a new feature to the party, "The first Annual Somerset Home Academy Awards". Congratulations to all of our award winners and to everyone for a great year and to your wonderful spirit!
