| Harvey and Lois Watson talk about how it used to be with WES Student Council and Zack's Place |
September in Review
In the mornings Zack's Place went to Billings Farm with Martha for reading and farm projects, did good deeds with Kitty handing out cookies and cleaning up trash, we delivered Pentangle Posters, wrote thank you notes, visited Norman Williams Library, made beads and sang.
Mid-day we wrote songs with Susan Gabrielle, we did art with Fiona, worked on our garden at Billings Farm, made music videos with Sarah, cooked and danced with Tiffany , we ate lunch at Thompson Senior Center and danced with the Barton Square dancers, made pottery with Fiona at Purple Crayon, exercised with Bari, and did Qi Gong with Angel.
| Handing out cookies on Good Samaritan Day |
In the afternoons we did yoga with Anne and Tita, sang with Kerry, worked out with Bari, had a treasure hunt with Woodstock Elementary Student Council and Harvey Watson discovering the use of our historic buildings when Harvey was in school, we did art with Finnie, played croquet on the common, had fun at Vail Field with Kitty, and started practice for our December musical a suspense comedy, musical that has it all.
