LEGO BUILD & GINGERBREAD HOUSES DEC 1st!

Passing this along from Jen Fahey.......

LEGO BUILD & GINGERBREAD HOUSES DEC 1st!

Come build with Legos AND visit the Gingerbread Houses on the same day! It is a great way to spend some time together on Sunday, Dec. 1st. Or a great way for one parent to have some fun with the kids while the other gets some Christmas shopping done. 

Here are the details - 

There will be a Lego Build on Dec. 1st at the Scout Hall, 28 Abbe Rd, East Windsor, from 2 - 4. If you didn't attend last month, we now have 40,000 Lego bricks and the possibilities are endless.  The Duplo bricks are even more amazing with this new donation.  We also have more "pink" Lego bricks since a few more sets were purchased last week to add to the collection.  

The Gingerbread House Festival is open Sunday, Dec. 1st from 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m., at the Wood Memorial Library, 783 Main Street, South Windsor, CT, which is only 5 miles down the road from the Scout Hall! Visit www.woodmemoriallibrary.org for more info and pictures from past years. 

And don't forget, there is a Dunkin' Donuts at the intersection of Route 5 and Abbe Road if you need something warm (and caffeinated).

Homeschool Survey

Passing this along.....

Hello Homeschool Families,

 

My name is Carleigh Schultz and I am the coordinator of Excursions in Learning Youth Programs at Manchester Community College.  Excursions is a non-profit, state program whose main goal and mission is to provide unique classes and learning opportunities to the youth in our community.

 

We are currently in the process of creating a BRAND NEW program designed specifically for homeschooled students, but we need your help!  I am hoping that you can please take 5 minutes to complete this 5 question survey to help us gain more information about your needs as an educator, a parent and a member of our community.  We are creating this program for you and you can be part of the planning process!

 

Our survey can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SWN5D7S

 

Thank you so much for your time!  Your feedback is so valuable to us.  If you have any questions or would like to speak further to me about this project, you may reach me by phone or email below.

Thank you again!
