Field Trip this Thursday

Just a reminder: this Thursday at 10:00, see details below.

Directions to Springhill Dairy and Pumpkin Patch:

Go North on MM for 10 miles to Burley Rd (on the left.) If you get to Ben Davis, you've gone too far. Turn around at the gas station and head back. Burley will be the 2nd road on your right. Once on Burley, drive till you reach the T and turn left. Their drive is the first on the right.

September Meeting

At our last meeting, the prices for art were changed. From here out, art costs $2.00 per child.

The kids really enjoyed jump-roping and we will get to continue to participate in the jump rope workshop each 2nd and 4th Friday

At our next meeting, September 26th, Denise has arranged for a Flight Simulator demonstration. Several of us have enjoyed this guest study before and won't want to miss it!

Following this meeting, we will have a Tae Kwon Do sampler. Be sure to meet us on the square after lunch to see if this is a class you will want to continue.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all!
