It's always been first come first serve. We've never taken kids from the previous year then added others, that would never allow new kids to get into the program.
The issue is VOLUNTEERS. Right now we have one main person who initiates everything. She's overwhelmed with that and other stuff. We NEED volunteers to shadow folks so they can step in for next year, otherwise, this WILL be the last year for HSS, as many older kids are attending for the last time, and it's their parents who will be leaving next year, Percy is one of them, as is MGH. I have volunteered for MGH's position as Barn Manager, so I'll be barn manager this year, along with MGH, but there are many many other slots that need to be filled for next year.
ALSO, take the fundraising serious. They are only asked to do ONE fundraiser, and the proceeds for it come DIRECTLY off your child's enrollment fees, last year it brought enrollment fees down to HALF what they would have been.
This volunteer shortage has become so critical, that the continuation of the program is in serious jeopardy as the late registration packet send out and short turn in date indicates. WE NEED YOUR HELP.
