Greetings!

 

We hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We did at Zack's Place and we are so grateful for a wonderful Turkey Trot, an almost finished Capital Campaign, our generous community, our friends and families and the love that comes from all around us.

We have a lot of exciting events and happenings to read about and many wonderful photographs.

 

We have lot's of Turkey Trot T-shirts left over and they are for sale at $5.00 each. Please email us if you would like one. zacksplace1@gmail.com 

 

November in Review
 
In November mornings we made greeting cards, cleaned our gardens, delivered Pentangle posters, did beading with Stephanie and Milo, visited the Library, watched movies, went grocery shopping, made soup, prepared for the Turkey Trot and baked lot's of cookies.

Midday we made pottery at Purple Crayon, did crafts at Billings Farm, made Turkey's with Lolli, went swimming with community classroom, did global campus at Purple Crayon, gave out free soup, worked out with Angel and Community Classroom, swam at the Aquatic Center, did journaling with Caryn Golden, made squash soup with Chef Judy Hestness, toured the Lebanon Pet Store, baked cookies at Maplewood Farm with Josh Clark, did band with Mark Van Gulden.

In the afternoons we did girl talk and knitting with Renee, boys time with Papa, yoga with Anne and Tita, worked out with Bari, art with Fiona, practice for our upcoming musical, went to the Movies, sang with Kerry and made center pieces with WES Student council. 
 
We read books with TJ, Anthea, Tom, Phil and Ron.
