Hey New York families! Hope you are having a wonderful summer! I wanted to share a cool opportunity for all interested elementary-age singers. Ms. Paige is helping run a choir camp through KU from June 15-19 (details below). Scholarships are available and transportation can be coordinated if needed. (Please contact Ms. Paige for that.) If your child loves singing, check it out!

Hello Families,

As we get closer to summer we need to plan for care for our garden over the summer! If you are able to tend to our garden for a week or so please sign up with this link. Any produce harvested during your care week is yours to enjoy. Each sign up is Monday-Sunday of watering and garden care.

Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you! You are responsible for one week of care, Monday- Sunday. Contact Samantha Saltz for any questions. [email protected] As summer begins you will get an email with care instructions!
