McLouth Happenings

By Beverly Muzzy - | May 24, 2011

The Open Arms Christian Preschool class graduated with a ceremony at the McLouth Church of the Nazarene on May 1. Highlights of the year were trips to the Lecompton Fire Department, Moon Marble Company in Bonner Springs and Schaake’s Pumpkin Patch in Lawrence, as well as two visits to Hickory Pointe Nursing Home in Oskaloosa — to deliver Valentines and to go on an Easter Egg Hunt. Thanks to the parents of Brody Antes, Leea Auld, Caroline Dunn, Curtis Schupp, Emily Walker, Jaiden Taylor, Samantha Swafford, Aja Nelson, Daisy May Wise, Quinn Payne and Zander Mack for allowing their children to attend. Good luck to all of you all in kindergarten! A new preschool class will be forming in the fall.
