A roaring good time
EXETER — We have been
having tons of fun during the
first few weeks of the South
Huron Playground.
The fun will continue as July
26 marks the beginning of
"Animal Crazy" week. During
this week we will be creating a
huge 'jungle city' and other fun
animal crafts.
Wed., July 28 is wacky hair
day, so get creative because
there will be prizes for the wack-
iest hair. Thurs., July 29 we are
going to the Toronto Zoo. There
is still room available on the bus, so call us if you
are interested. Our number is 235-2361.
Because of the trip to the Zoo, there will be no
supervision at the Playground for that day. Sorry
for any inconvenience this may cause.
Reminder: Although we go swimming on
Wednesdays, we may play water games on hot
days, so kids should bring their bathing suits and
towels everyday.
Remember, new kids are always welcome, so
come on out and have fun!
