Wednesday Scouts Class Description

This new class option is available to children 4, 5, and 6 years old. We will be spending a majority of our time learning and exploring outside in our school play yard, in the park, and on the trails. Each child will need to bring a water bottle and packed snack to class as we may enjoy our food in various places around the park and forest😊 The small class of 12 will be led by Mrs. Katie Cook and Co-lead teacher, Mrs. Sarah Scott.
