ELGIN AND DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE NURSERY SCHOOL April has been a happy and busy month at the Nursery SchooL Bush, an Easter party, a visit from a gerbil, Favourite Pet/ Stuffed Animal Day, an indoor A trip to the Sugar Lion Hunt, and Dinosaur Day - every one guaranteed to make a preâ€"schooler smile. May is the last month of classes before the summer break. During this month we have two special events planned. On Tuesday evening, May 15, from 7:00 â€" 9:00, the Nursery School, located in the basement of the Elgin United Church, will have an OPEN HOUSE. This is when the young "students" get to show off to parents, family members and friends some of the work and activities they have done during the year. It is also an excellent opportunity for parents who may be considering enrolling a child in the fall to learn more about what the program offers to preschoolers. These parents will also be interested to know that on Wednesday, May 16, during regular class time, they are welcome to bring their children to observe or participate in a class. This experience may help a great deal in preparing a little one for Nursery School in the fall. Classes are from 9:00â€"11:30 and 1:00â€"3:30 in the basement of the Elgin United Church. The school offers a program for children between the ages of 2% and 41 . Call 359-5166 for more information.
