Wear red, bring your decorated run bikes/scooters and helmets or hats and will also be handing out sidewalk chalk so feel free to bring baskets or wagons.
It’s going to be a blast!
Friday May 24th is our Family Beach Picnic!
This is always a special day, we will meet between 10:00 and 2:00 pm, look for beach direction details from Angela’s email. Please pack a lunch, blanket, beach toys/gear (prepare for your children to get wet and sandy), sun smart gear and don’t forget a warm layer too. The one structured event plan is a walk at 11:30am along the beach and then upon our return, we will hand out nut-free/dairy-free/gluten-free treats. Other than that, the schedule is relaxed as it’s a coming together of both classes.
Come when you can, leave when you need to!
