Going Stir Crazy? Here are some ideas!
In this newsletter, you will find links to DIY games, crafts, recipes, movement activities and much more that we hope you will find useful in the coming weeks. We know how hard it is to be cooped up at home, but just remember that we are being asked to stay home now so that we can be together again soon!
As always, do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can do for you.

April Vacation - 4/20 - 4/24
Next week, April 20 to April 24 we will be honoring our traditional week for April Vacation. We ask that you and your family take a break from the school work and find a way to relax. Take a hike, ride bikes, play board games, read a good book, or stay in your pajamas all day and watch some movies. Whatever you decide to do, please make sure it does not involve school work! You all deserve a break!
The office will be closed next week for vacation as well and will reopen on Monday, April 27th.
Roberts Farm Preserve
Looking for a great place to get out and explore nature? Roberts Farm Preserve is a conservation and recreation project of the Western Foothills Land Trust. We welcome you to respectfully explore the 165-acre Preserve using the trails provided. The agricultural history of this land will reveal itself as you skirt the farm pond, passing through remnants of fields and pastures, through numerous stone walls, orchards, and groves.
