We need your help!
Is your child toilet trained and you have leftover diapers to donate? Has your child outgrown the diapers you have and you would like to donate them? We are looking for donations and would love any diapers you have! Share with anyone you think would be able to help and bring your diapers to Great Beginnings on May 6th between the hours of 10-2. We will have a parent educator stationed at the circle drive outside with signs for you to drop off. If you have any questions, please contact tracy.halphin@lsr7.net

Summer Reading and activities!
Mouse's First Summer
Pick a day to do all the things Mouse did - taste watermelon, watch ants work, walk barefoot through the grass, watch the clouds, fly a kite, sip lemonade, have a PB&J picnic, watch the fireflies, and enjoy fireworks!
Should I Share My Ice Cream?
Make Ice Cream in a Bag - Lots of recipes on Google to combine a little milk, sugar, and vanilla then with the magic of ice and rock salt (and a little elbow grease and time), voila -- you have ice cream!
Eating the Alphabet
Wander through the farmer’s market or grocery store and pick up a couple of vegetables or fruits you’ve never tried, then go home and taste them!
