Spring Carnival

Thank you to all are wonderful Carnival volunteers. It was a major success and we could not have made it happen without all of you! The weather held out and fun was had by all.

Green Fest

I wanted to let you know about an event at Forest Ridge this Saturday from 10am to 1pm. We are have a Green Fest! Hammond High School and Forest Ridge have joined together to have informational tables about various organizations in our community such as the Howard County Library and the Howard County Beekeepers Association. We will also have crafts for the kids to do as well as animals for the kids to meet. We hope you can come out and join us for a fun day of learning about all these wonderful organizations in our community.

If you have some time we are also in need of some parent volunteers to help setup, man a table for the Home Depot craft and clean up. Here is the link to sign up to help: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4BACA922A6F58-green
