Creating Geologic Formations
    Rocks have begun to sprout up in the center of our drop-off and pick-up area, and we would like to continue to grow our rock garden. If on your vacations (anytime throughout the year) or even in your backyard, you notice a rock that your family would like to share, please bring it and add it to our collection. Come in to the office and record the origin of your rock in our "Rock Journal" so we all can know where the rock came from and why it is interesting to your child. Thank you!
