“Thank you! I didn’t even need to ask the kids if they enjoyed it, the smiles beaming ear to ear said it all!”
“I want to be outside and make stuff and play with my friends.” “I want to learn about birds, not see them in books.”
“I think other home-school parents just need a day to do All The Other Things, knowing their child is happy, growing, and safe.”
“It was so cool to drive into the school and see them all there having a shared experience. You really bring magic to this place”
