They have just returned from a four day training program for playground leaders and are filled with exciting ideas to make your child's summer the best ever. They have planned to visit all kinds of places, make all kinds of crafts, and play all kinds of games. At the training camp they were given the idea of a "scavenger hunt" to collect items for crafts, If each family in the community could collect even a few of the following articles, they would be off to a good start: magazines, old craft supplies, containers, material scraps; complete games and puzzles and anything at all useful for crafts, Wednesday, July 2 to Friday, July 4, are the collection days and, to make things more organized, the leaders ask that you bring the materials to the Lucan School yourself or send them with a child you know who is attending. Remember that July 2 is Registration Day. Get forms at the bank or at any of the three elementary schools. correspondent; Mts.
