Week of October 24-28: Not-so-Creepy Crawly Spiders!

That means we’ll be having our Halloween party early on Thursday, October 27. Children could come with their costumes, a Halloween-themed outfit, or a willingness to try on one of our costumes for a group picture. (Participation not required.) Check below for a summary of...
