Family Story Time
Children ages 2 to 6, with a caregiver, can register online and join the fun as we read books, sing songs, and participate in "shady" activities on Monday, June 28 at 10:30 a.m., at Wallace Park on Swift Road. Please wear your best pair of shades! Take-and-make kits will be available after the program for fun at home activities. Due to safety protocols, no one will be admitted without registering. Please bring a blanket and/or chairs for your family.
Spin a Wooly Tale
The tale of humans and sheep goes back over 12,000 years. Students in grades 3 thru 6 are invited to join us as we learn more about these beautiful animals and how their fleece is processed to become your favorite sweater. These classes will be held at the pavilion area in Wallace Park on Swift Rd, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Students should plan to attend all 3 sessions: July 1, 8 and 22. Please register on the July 1 calendar entry for all three sessions. Registration is limited and attendees must register and follow all Covid safety guidelines. More detailed guidelines and instructions will be available to those who register.
Baby birds
A bird is a bird, except when it’s a nestling, hatchling, or fledgling. Preschoolers ages 3 to 5, with a caregiver, will learn about baby birds through stories, songs, movement and an art activity on Monday, July 12, at 10 a.m., at Wallace Park. Each child will create their own baby birds in a nest to take home with them. Registration is limited and attendees must register and follow all Covid safety guidelines. More detailed guidelines and instructions will be available to those who register.
