A great community

Here is a report on last night's dinner and more by Angelique Lee whose help has been invaluable in organizing our after school program.

It is so nice to sit down and visit with neighbors and friends! Over 60 adults and children attended the Spaghetti Dinner, prepared by the After School Program, with the help of Joyce Stevens and many parents. Joyce kept everyone so well directed that she even had time to go outside and play a game with the kids before the guests arrived. Two feet of snow in the playground didn't stop anyone from enjoying the play structures, maybe spring has finally started.

This spring's After School Program has consistently drawn over twenty-five children and parents for each program, and sometimes many more than that, to a wide variety of programming:

A live raptor visit from VINS
Snowshoeing with Joe Desena
Printmaking using waterbase inks with Angelique Lee
Travel the World with community members including Saskia Groom and John Teoh
Wonderful Worms with educator Heather Behrens
Dessert Making and the Spaghetti Dinner with Joyce Stevens

If you have a special talent or interest, or idea to share with the community, please contact us, we LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. We will start planning summer programming during the month of April, and grant writing for next year's After School Programming will start soon as well, when everyone pitches in our programs truly are amazing for a community of our size. Look for programs for young adults, adult programming, and of course fun literacy programs for our youngest community members.

Join us Saturday April 12th for Music and Stories for kids age 0 to 5 with siblings.  More here.
