SOS

Pickles, our lovable and famous 4X Guinea Pig needs a good summer
home. She has a home for the fall but needs summer care because her
new owners will be traveling all summer. She is only a about one year
old, very tame, and lovable. Pickles comes with a cage, water bottle,
starter supply of food and cage bedding. Her cage only needs cleaning
once a week and she can be left with food and water for long
weekends. If you have room in your heart and home for Pickles or know
someone who can care for her please, call or e-mail Pam or Merry.

MIDDLE SCHOOL WELCOME EVENT
We wanted to invite all of the fourth grade families to join us on
Sunday, June 5th from 2:00-4:00 in the MS wetland gardens (the space
between the MS and the US) for an ice cream social. This will be a
great opportunity to hang-out with other MS families (current and
new). We will be conducting a modified scavenger hunt that day, so
please let us know if your rising fifth grader was unable to attend
the scavenger hunt earlier this month. We look forward to seeing you
and welcoming you to the Middle School!
All the best-
Andrea and Sung Hee

be delivered to Martha's Pantry and A Wider Circle.
