Has your
little one
been wanting to play
with others?

schoolers as they learn how to interact, play,
and communicate with others. Play allows
children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional
strength. Play is important to healthy brain
development. It is through play that children
at a very early age engage and interact in the
world around them. This is also a great opportunity to make connections with other caregivers
around you. Join us March 24, Friday, from 10:30-12:00
for an open play time.

Crew will be meeting on March 7 at 6:30. No
sign up is required. Looking ahead to April 4
we will be making soft pretzels at 6:30.

that were transforming the South,
Jean Louise's homecoming turns
bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her closeknit family, the town, and the
people dearest to her. Memories
from her childhood flood back,
and her values and assumptions
are thrown into doubt. Featuring
many of the iconic characters
from To Kill a Mockingbird, Go
Set a Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a
world, in painful yet necessary
transition out of the illusions of
the past—a journey that can only
