Hello Everyone,
The Garden has been a happy place this week. Each class made birthday posters or cards for the church’s members who are 90 years old or older. Each September the church hosts a big birthday bash for these special community members, but this year, of course, they aren’t allowed to have an in-person party, so they are doing drive by birthday parades for the 21 celebrants instead. Our classes were assigned two or three birthday friends and the children made cards or posters for those special people. Even the infants took part in poster making process! All the birthday creations turned out fabulously and they are sure to bring some sunshine and cheer to each of the parades. 😊 We are thrilled to be able to contribute to this fun and unique birthday celebration. Please take the time to look at some of the birthday creations on our Facebook page this weekend.
Don’t forget to mark your calendar for our first virtual “COFFEE WITH KATHY” on Saturday, September 26th at 9:30 in the morning. This will be a chance for families to meet our Social Worker, Kathy Hall, and to just “hang out” together over coffee. We hope you will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to get together with other families and to make some school connections. I will send out the Zoom invitation and the link to everyone next week with the Garden News. Remember that Kathy is always available to meet with family members, individually, or as a whole, if the need arises.
Kathy’s contact information is listed below.
