SPRING BREAK HANGOUT – KEEP IT SIMPLE, KEEP IT FUN!
We’re keeping this one easy… on purpose.
No big agenda.
No complicated schedule.
Just music, open space, and kids being kids.
We’ll have some tunes playing, give away a few fun prizes, and let the rest happen naturally. This is all about creating a relaxed, community-style vibe where kids can show up, hang out, and enjoy their break together.
Bring your own outdoor fun!
Footballs, soccer balls, bubbles, chalk, frisbees — anything that sparks some friendly play.
No scooters or bikes for this one — just open space and open play.
This event is open to all ages, but we’re especially excited to see our 4th–9th graders come out, connect, laugh, and just be together outside of school.
Think: low pressure.
Think: sunshine + music.
Think: simple fun with friends.
Tag a parent. Invite a friend. Let’s make it a laid-back day to remember.

Guest Presentation - Gardening As We Age
Hosted by Vinland Valley Nursery | More Information | See Facebook Event
Gardening is one of the few truly lifelong pursuits. It is an activity that can be enjoyed from childhood well into old age. The benefits are numerous and well known. This free presentation will make the case for the benefits of gardening to encourage you to continue. Ultimately, getting the most out of gardening, for the longest period, requires making adjustments: to our landscapes, our tools, our techniques and our expectations.
This presentation will provide practical information to help you stay engaged and productive in your garden for as long as you choose. You’ll see examples of how to alter your beds, your plant choices, and your tools so you can still do the most with the space you have. As important, as time takes its inevitable toll on our bodies, you’ll learn to engage others and finally, to alter your expectations and abandon perfectionism.
