It’s hard to believe that we are welcoming in 2018… the school year seems to have just begun! In December, we celebrated Grandparents’ Day with 20 grandparents in attendance. With Cindy Benson and Lindsey Allenby leading us, we had a holiday song sing-a-long followed by butter making which we ate atop crackers, and ornament making. […]
The past couple months at the Andover After School Program have been full of fun and excitement! We have had two late-night Fridays, which consisted of pizza and dessert, movies, and fun activities like pillow fights and paint-in-a-bag (who knew something so simple could be so much fun!?). These nights are open to the public, […]

As always, we tried some new healthy foods, like dried mango, almonds, and sweet potato chips. We have been playing lawn darts, basketball, and whiffle ball during […]
