Hello everyone! This is Alisha from 4H. I wanted to let everyone know that 4H Summer WOW begins Tuesday June 9th. We cannot move into the school until that Monday afternoon. Drop off is at the Newland Elementary School bottom lot where the playground is located. If your child(ren) will please wear closed toe shoes Tuesday as we will be going to Roan Mtn St Park to spend the day. (Tennis shoes nothing slick please) drop off begins at 7:30am and pick up is no later than 5:30. We cannot accept children after 8:30 am. On Thursday’s we will have field trips so we will not be back to the school until 4pm. Breakfast and lunch will be served by the school and we will serve snack to them as well. You can send a water bottle with your child (with their name on it please) if you would like. We look forward to see you all on Tuesday!
