2025 End of Summer Director’s Message

Hello Sunshine Community,

As always, the time flew by! The Sunshine Group had a busy 6 weeks together. Thank you for being part of another unforgettable summer! From our weekly field trips and pool days, to the creativity and courage on display at our talent show, and the end-of-summer carnival—this season was packed with memories! Whether your child was sliding down a water slide, creating crafts, discovering something new, or stepping into the spotlight for the very first time, we saw confidence grow, friendships bloom, and so many smiles!

Thank you to the Town of Medway for their continued support of our program. Their support allows us to expand activities, hire the level of staffing required to meet the diverse needs of our students, provide transportation to and from our program, and offer even more enriching experiences for our students. This support demonstrates the commitment of our community to our inclusive program and directly impacts the quality and reach of our program, and for that we are deeply thankful.

We are also fortunate to have the support of many local sponsors whose contributions helped make this summer extra special. We are looking forward to collaborating with these (and additional) businesses in the future. If you have any connections with Medway businesses or organizations, please let us know! Donations allow us to enrich our program, offer scholarships to families in need and help us to afford special activities during the summer.

  • The Little Gym – Thank you for sponsoring our T-shirts and for our continued partnership!
  • Magliaro’s Custom Apparel – Your support with the shirts helped our group stand out on field trips!
  • C. Scoops – Nothing says “summer” like a sweet treat, and your generosity added the perfect flavor to our carnival celebration!
  • Medway Fire Department & Medway Police Department – Your scholarship support helped make our program accessible to families in need, and we are so thankful for your dedication to our community, both in and out of uniform.
  • Medway Senior Center – Thank you for being a great neighbor and sharing your space with us!
  • Urban Air – We enjoyed our sensory friendly Meet and Greet at the Start of the summer and your partnership for our field trip!
  • Medway DPW – Thank you for setting up our tents and bringing extra seating for our talent show!

We wouldn’t be successful without our hardworking staff. Their energy, care, and dedication is what makes our program special, and we are proud to share them with you in the off-season! Use this link to access our 2025 Sunshine Group Babysitters List!

Last but not least – we are incredibly grateful to YOU – our families. Thank you! You donated supplies, cheered on the kids at the talent show, and volunteered at the carnival. Thank you for your trust and support of our program and for sharing your children with us! Watching them explore, create, and shine was the highlight of our summer!

We hope to see you all again for Sunshine Summer 2026! Applications will be posted during February vacation. If you sign up for our blog, you will be notified by email when they are posted. We’re already looking forward to what next summer will bring—but until then, we wish you a wonderful school year ahead.

Ending the Summer with Fun, Friends, and a Carnival!

In the final episode of The Sunshine Group’s 2025 summer session, we celebrated with a fun-filled carnival with all our friends! We cooled off in the dunk tank, navigated a challenging obstacle course, bounced to our hearts’ content in the bouncy house, and raced down the inflatable slip and slide.

No carnival is complete without snacks, and there were plenty to enjoy, including popcorn, cotton candy, and snow cones! A special thank you to TC Scoops for generously donating ice cream—we truly appreciate it! We also extend our gratitude to all the parent volunteers and those who donated water and paper towels to help make the day perfect.

Thank you again for sharing your children with us this summer, and we hope to see you all again for The Sunshine Group in 2026!

Bouncy, Bouncy, Bouncy, Bouncy, Fun, Fun, Fun, FUN!

The best thing about Sunshine Group is that we’re experts at having fun!

We had a busy, action-packed day at Xtreme Craze, where the inflatable park featured giant slides, a balance table, climbing walls, an obstacle course, and a dodgeball arena. The bouncy floors kept us hopping from one activity to the next! Our Orange, Yellow, and Green groups were even old enough to join in on an exciting game of laser tag. What a fantastic day!

See you tomorrow for our Sunshine Carnival!
