| Greetings!
Flowers are blooming and the weather is getting warmer. Summer is on its way! That means that now is the perfect time to register your child for a fun and educational summer camp (or two). See below for more details.
While you're waiting for summer, there's plenty going on here at The Works. Stop by and try your hand at making a ball of clay float any Saturday this month - except Saturday, May 15, when you can participate in our What Floats Your Boat? Challenge!
We hope to see you soon!
