Helpers from the Sargent Woods community trimmed some branches from the nearby tree to allow space for the American flag to fly without catching on the tree. A new American flag was then raised in replacement. We are very appreciative for their community support!
Families are invited to join us each Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. for children’s stories and songs. If the weather is pleasant and warm, plans will be for outside attendance.
Weekly crafts bags that correspond with each week’s theme will also be available. Please call (603) 382-4691 to attend. Registrations are required at this time due to capacity restrictions.
Craft bags for children will now be available upon placing a reservation request by email, phone or in person due to limited supplies.
