clubs
This past weekend some of the students from Ms. Finsterle's yoga club visited the Orlando Cat Cafe in Clermont for yoga with cats. During the outing, we were able to play with the cats and then we took an hour-long yoga class with an instructor. We will likely do another yoga with cats outing in the spring - perhaps at The Kitty Beautiful.

Traveling Orca
