Healthy Living and Gardening Nov.16-24

Hello!
Thanks for all of your help keeping children home sick if they have been because we seem to be cycling through a lot of sickness at Northern Voices! We are finished with our houses/family/friends unit and are starting a new one: Healthy Living and Gardening! This should be a lot of fun and we will be doing great activities over the next week and a half before Thanksgiving break.

Thanks for everything you do!
Sarah
