October 2nd 2:00p.m.

This is just a little reminder about our Shakespeare activity next Tuesday. 

We will be reviewing the Bard's life and doing some hands-on activities based on the Elizabethan time period.  I have also put together a couple of things just for the older kids as well.

If you would like to come prepared with a sonnet or monologue that would be fun, but if not....no biggie.  Oh, your favorite knock knock joke would be great.

Remember we are doing this at the park in Annabella.  Please give me a call for directions if needed.

Thanks!  Mandy  201-9175

October 2nd

Hey!!

It was so great to meet all the new families tonight at the BBQ.  Thanks to Heather S. for doing such a great job!

Our first 'clubs' meeting will be Tuesday, October 2nd at 2:00 p.m.  It will be held at the old Annabella town hall which is right by the park.

I would really love it if I could get a count of how many kids are going to be at the activity and their ages.  What I had planned might not work, so I am going to re-vamp everything.  Knowing exactly what ages of the kids I am going to have will help a lot.

If I do not get an RSVP email from you, I will assume you are not coming and therefore not plan on you.  So please email me at this email if you are going to come:  snazzdandy@hotmail.com.  (Do not reply to this post as I will not get the reply.)

Thanks loads.  Call me if you have any questions.  201-9175

Attention: Scholars

Hi Guys!
I am so excited to get going on scholar club this year.  I have decided that we will typically meet the first Thursday of each month.  We will begin OCTOBER 4th at 6:00.  I am posting early so you can mark your calenders and so you can finish up the book How To Think Like Leonardo DaVinci (yes, I said FINISH).  Please plan to bring some kid of bread or roll or focacia or bagel or (you get my point) and we will have Leonardo's minestrone to go with it!  I have a few RSVP's for scholar club, but some of you I still don't know what your plans are.  Will you e-mail me either way so I can know who will be with us this year.  I can't wait to see all of you!  Heather
