A Fresh Start for a New Year

As we turn the page to January and step into a new year at the Central New York Children’s Dyslexia Center, we are filled with renewed energy, hope, and purpose. The start of a new year always brings an inspiring sense of possibility, and here at the Center, that feeling is especially strong.

Our students returned from the holiday break ready to learn, grow, and continue building the skills they worked so hard to develop in the fall. First-year students are beginning to gain deeper mastery of foundational skills, and we are already seeing greater confidence show up in their reading, writing, and daily interactions. Their determination is a wonderful reminder that progress happens one thoughtful step at a time.

Our returning students have hit the ground running as well—bringing focus, enthusiasm, and a strong commitment to their personal goals. Their resilience continues to inspire us. Each session demonstrates how far they have come and how capable they are of achieving even more in the months ahead.

We are also excited to continue our Cans and Bottles Collection in the new year! On the last Wednesday and Thursday of every month, we welcome families, volunteers, and community members to drop off their returnables in support of our programs. This small act makes a meaningful impact, and we are grateful for everyone who participates. Together, we are helping fund the work that changes lives.

January is often seen as a clean slate—a chance to reaffirm what matters most. For us, that is our shared mission: empowering children with dyslexia to read with skill, confidence, and joy. None of this would be possible without the ongoing dedication of our tutors, the encouragement of our families, the leadership of our board, and the generosity of our donors and community partners.

Thank you for stepping into this new year with us. We look forward to the growth, achievements, and moments of celebration that 2026 will bring.

From all of us at the Central New York Children’s Dyslexia Center—
Warmest wishes for a peaceful, productive, and inspiring January.
