Winter Happenings in the Children's Room


snowmanDo you have a 'crafty' child in your family? We have just the activity for them! On Tuesday, December 14, at 3:30pm., Miss Sarah will be holding a Holiday Craft Workshop, for children in grades 2-5. We will be making "Stocking Snowmen" and "Snowflake Ornaments"

Come to our holiday get-together-"Stories, Songs, and Cookies, too!!" on Friday, December 17, from 3:30-4:30pm. Bring a small plate of your favorite holiday cookies---we'll provide cider, and we'll all get to sample the selection! In the meantime, Miss Sarah will read some holiday stories, we'll sing some holiday songs, and there will be a simple craft to complete the afternoon. We hope to send everyone home full of holiday cheer!


Space is limited for both events, so please call 673-2288 to register or sign up using the online calendar of events.

Make-it, Take-it Craft: Come in anytime from December 18-23, and make your own simple holiday gift cards.
