Join us each Wednesday, Memorial Day - Labor Day at 10:30 a.m. for a family story time for ages 0-5. Story time consists of stories, body movement activities, songs, and rhymes, helping children grow the skills they need to become lifelong readers. After the stories, feel free to stay and play and make new friends! Young children and their grown-ups are invited to join us for these free weekly events.
After Labor Day, story time is split into designated age groups throughout the week. Look for that information in August.

Students will go through the process of caring for and growing plants in a hydroponic tower garden and even learn some recipes to go with the plants they grow. Space is limited, so registration is required.
