Fundraiser May 5 at Harmon Field
Tuesday School, Tryon’s parent-cooperative preschool, is busy celebrating the spring season. Springtime songs and class lessons are a part of the young students’ school experience.
So far this season, the 3 and 4-year-old classes took a trip to a different continent… here in Polk County.
Tuesday Schoolers spent weeks learning about Africa, and once warmer weather returned to the Foothills, they joined their teachers at Ms. Beverly’s farm for an indoor-outdoor field trip. Ms. Beverly, who is the lead teacher of the 4-year-olds, has opened her home each year for this event.
All of the teachers worked to transform the farm into Africa for a day.
The preschoolers also took part in their annual Easter egg hunts. The 2-, 3- and 4- year-old classes each had their own hunts.
For Tuesday School family and friends, springtime is celebrated with the annual Spring Fling and silent auction, a family fun fundraising event, which will be held at Harmon Field on May 5 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. BBQ and hot dog plates will be provided by Paul Dale of Foothills BBQ.
