We all had such a great time at the End-Of-Year Picnic, we decided we should do it again in August!
Back At Terra Nova Center
We came full circle from our very first booth at the 2008 White Squirrel Fest to this year's, which was our most successful booth fundraiser yet, raising $900. Many thanks to John & Carol Dodson and Kim Skeen of the Dodson-Carlile Studio at Mud Dabbers for running two pottery wheels for kids of all ages--the hit of the festival.

A Beautiful Day at Black Balsam
Berry Picking Picnic with Teachers August 9, 2008
It was perfect weather for a picnic, and turn-out was great! Only a few families missed out on this fantastic day of blackberry and blueberry picking. Some folks lingered and went hiking up Sam's Knob--well worth it for the views.
MSCS Family Picnic
We had a great time out at the Terra Nova Center's lake for our End-Of-Year picnic.

Boating in June
Dinner to Make Your Belly Dance
Our Valentines Gala Dinner with poetry reading, live guitarists, and bellydance performance was a big hit at Poppies!
Baraka Mundi Dancer
Magnificently Magical
Our July 4th booth was a hit despite the rain! We made tissue paper trees and bean bag buddies and sold watermelon slices and peach tea. One of our kiddos even made the newspaper!

White Squirrel Festival '08
We had a great booth May 24-25 to celebrate that unique Brevard resident, the white squirrel. It was super-windy, and we got blown over a few times, but turn-out was good. We sold herb tea and jewelry and made clothespin butterflies and glue-collages.
Painting the Ceilings
Many thanks to all those who worked on our building.
