Imagination Station Happenings

Summer is off to a great start. The children have been enjoying the fun filled summer schedule: Movement Monday- Outside running, jumping   and skipping. Tidal Wave Tuesday- Play day with water, sprinklers, water balloons etc… Worship Wednesday- Mr. Brandon teaches a worship lesson thru gardening.
