Calendar Corner for September 2018



September is the start of the most wonderful time of year, at least for me. Autumn is my favorite season; I relish the cooler weather, cozy sweaters, comfort food, and most of all the fall decor. My love of Autumn spread throughout our Club as well. Art projects begin to take on the shape of scarecrows and apples, science involves the changing colors of the leaves, and snack starts to get a little cuter. I'm always looking for fun ways to add culture and exploration to our days and Autumn is jam-packed with multicultural festivals and events.
