Thank You Cards for Teachers

The card station will be set Tuesday, May 20th -Wednesday, May 28th. Bring your friends and enjoy time together creating something that will make your teacher smile!
Home School Book Club
The next Home School Book Club will meet on Friday, May 16th, from 1:30-2:30 p.m. The book we will be discussing is the Borrowers by Mary Norton. This lively story is about tiny people who "borrow" life's necessities from the human beings they live under. The Borrowers' entire way of life is endangered as the housekeeper comes to suspect that something is going on.
Please mark your calendars with our June date of Wednesday, June 25th. The book will soon be announced.
