This year has been an amazingly long Spring season! All the rain has extended flower season and students have been enjoying all the different wildflowers on campus. See how many you and your child can name:

Our Facilities Manager, Tate Green, has mowed some walking trails through the fields so the children can get outside and get up close to our beautiful flowers!

Heading Towards Summer

Since we've covered the basics with reading and math, let's do something for others and our community. Summer is a great time to volunteer with your child!

• There's a number of organizations around the area that get families involved in volunteering. Check out the monthly calendar at Austin Allies to see what is coming up! Generation Serve is another place where families can find volunteering opportunities to do together.
• Do it Yourself Volunteering is also a great experience for your child. Talk about things you see in your own neighborhood, like trash on the ground at the playscape. Make a game plan and go do something about it!
