PARENTS NIGHT this Thursday / In-Service Trip to Wolf's Neck Oct 9th

Hey Friends, Just a reminder that the first FSPA (Friends School Parents Association) meeting and our first classroom meetings are being held on Thursday night, September 17th. Also, we have a ritual of taking a field trip to Wolf's Neck Farm on the first in-service day of the year (a day of no school for kids, but school for teachers). The idea emerged from conversations between those desperate for childcare on in-service days, those wanting time to meet other kids and families, and those able to lend a hand/car seat. Here's a description of the morning ; We will plan to do a barnyard tour and pumpkin hayride. The hayride will include our pumpkin science lesson, and the kids will be able to bring home a pumpkin. Everyone will get a locally grown apple to snack on for the hayride back to the farm! We will meet at Wolf's Neck a little before 10am, and families are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch... The cost is $5.00 per person. Sign-ups will be circulating soon...
