Special Audubon Field Trip!
Down by the River!Join The Children's Room for a special field trip to Audubon Vermont in Huntington. What could be better than a visit to the water on a hot summer’s day? Search and discover what lurks under rocks and sand. Search for water striders, stoneflies, and salamanders. Build boats, watch them float, and stay cool down by the river. Families can take a free school bus ride to Audubon, leaving from Brookside Primary School.

Floodgates Art Session at the Senior Center!
Come join The Children's Room, the Senior Center and MakerSphere for a wonderful, intergenerational community art project! Participants will be using paper plates and coloring materials to create artwork about our ongoing experiences with Mother Nature's flooding in our area. We are asking people to create their vision or visions of “what’s on their plate” after all of the flooding...What are your hopes? How are you doing? How and/or how are you helping others? What’s on your plate? This project is being organized by Waterbury Area MakerSphere with generous support from the VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation. All ages welcome. FREE
