Super silly storytelling

Thanks to all who joined us last night for the Silliest Kind of Spooky.  The children enjoyed helping tell the stories, sharing ideas and solutions, and laughing at all the silly twists and turns of Miss Jen's tales. 

 

Friends of Hadley Preschool was glad to sponsor this event for our preschoolers and other friends and family.  Stay tuned for more events soon!

 

In the meantime, if you are looking for a terrific storyteller, check out We Tell Tales.  Miss Jen would be a great addition to a party or other school event!

Hadley Family Group

Looking for something to do with your little one on Friday morning? 

Come check out the Hadley Family Group.  It meets every Friday from 9:30 - 11 a.m. at Whole Children, 41 Russell St. in Hadley (in the Village Barn Shops). 

Babies through age 6 are welcome to join.  There are toys for all ages, as well as a ball pit, climbing wall, art supplies, snack and coffee for the parents (free!).  It's a great indoor destination for these rainy, getting-cooler fall days. 

Cash Raffle Winners

It was a beautiful day at the North Hadley Sugar Shack Harvest Moon Pumpkin Festival!  Thank you to Shelly and the gang for letting us set up our raffle ticket booth.  Thank you to all the families who sold tickets and helped raise money for our preschool program.

We are excited to announce our winners.  Bill Tudryn was our grand prize winner.  Sue Allen, Cheryl Houle, Jose Guzman, Melissa Aloisi, and Caitlin Murray were our $100. prize winners.

With the money raised from the raffle, Friends of Hadley preschool will be able to sponsor this week's storyteller, this winter's Family Fun Night, and other activities throughout the year!

A special thank you to Karen Howard of k.reb photography for her gorgeous photos from the day!
