Play at Pineland

Families are invited to play at Pineland Farms on March 6th (in-service day for FSP). There is a farm program that can include 20 children (first come / first serve -- a sign up will be in the hallway after vacation) but there is also a sledding hill, snowshoe and cross-country ski paths / rentals and even a branch of the Casco Bay YMCA (passes in the sunrise guide). The farm program begins at 10:00 am and will last about 90 minutes - it will focus on cows. The cost is $3.00 per child and $4.00 per adult -- carpooling, sharing childcare, etc. is encouraged! Moo to You Let's discover what it takes to get milk from a cow to your table. Come meet our Holstein herd, get a kiss from a calf, milk a cow and read a story. We are welcome to bring bag lunches or buy lunch and encouraged to eat in the commons (not Foley's because of space) -- plan to gather around 11:45-- campus maps are here. Get directions here. If anyone feels inspired to suggest a plan for Friday the 7th or March 24th please feel free or send them to me and I'll share the ideas and possibilities at the next parents meeting.
