In Honor of Earth Day....

Just read a great little article in the Statesman this evening and I'm very excited! How many of us have unused pharmaceutical products that we don't know how to safely dispose of? Rather than flushing old meds [all these pharmaceuticals are ending up in our drinking water, folks!], have the drugs responsibly disposed of. Check out the article here.

For additional information on safely disposing of medications, check out Dispose My Meds!

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

As part of rain week the children enjoyed walking with umbrellas on a sunny day. They were surprised to encounter "rain" from a hose! Chicken and rice with vegetables was a popular lunch. Lots of beautiful chalkboard drawings are found in the classrooms this week. Jennifer is hand feeding a couple of very small kittens, just a day old, and the children enjoyed seeing these tiny critters. It was a very happy day!

Rain Week!

This week we will be using boots and our new umbrellas to celebrate "rain week". There is lots of gardening underway around school, and today the PreK children added mulch to the butterfly garden. Here is a preview of some activities available to the children this week. Thanks to our wonderful staff for all of their work!
