The last day of the fall/winter session will be May 1st. Specials week will be May 4th - 8th, 2009, with the new session beginning the 11th of May. Staff will be assisting KADEP participants register beginning this week through next week. You will notice that some classes have a fee attached.

Farewell Heather

KADEP is very sad to say goodbye to staff member, Heather. Heather did her internship at KADEP and has been a full-time staff member for 4 years!

Heather has led truly unique therapeutic classes. She has many expertise including: Pilates, Laughter Yoga, Discussion and Self-Exploration classes, Dancing classes, and many many more.

Heather also has a way of connecting with people and helping them in many ways. She genuinely is caring and compassionate, and has brought SO much positive energy to KADEP.

Heather, we wish you all the best and know you have a bright future ahead of you:)

Heather's last day will be Thursday April 23rd. We will have her KADEP Farewell from 1-1:30 that day.

Poetry by John H.

GOD'S ANGELS

How do I describe Gods angels?
they are the people who direct change
the people who direct hope
those who help your heart rearrange

rearrange your hopeless feelings
make you feel like a friend
despite your differences
those with love to send

those who send there love freely
and you always know they care
to find these people is hard
and in these times is rare

I am glad I found this here
and in all of you
I want you to know
my appreciation is true
