Exciting and interesting fun at Saturday's Story Hour! Everyone learned about plants and planting, as well as the importance of water and sun for growing food, flowers and other plants.

Our next Story Hour will be held on May 21st and we will be learning about Origami and how to make flying planes and beautiful sun catchers out of paper!
