Book club had their final meeting finishing up with “The Dollhouse Murders” by Betty Ren Wright! They celebrated with cupcakes and of course book talk! Things that the members loved the most were getting to discuss their book theories, the plot twists, making new friends, and shockingly having something to do other than being on their electronic devices!

Looking to replenish your supply of slime? Looking to indulge your sweet tooth? Looking for some foam crafts to jazz up your home decor? Look no further...three of the Lemonade Day Club businesses (Slime Guys, Poppin' Cake Pops, and Foam Sisters) will be selling their products at the Market on Mill (225 Mill Street, Utica) this Saturday, May 3 from 10:00-noon. There will be young entrepreneurs from 5 other area schools as well: Waltham, Wallace, Leland, Ottawa Central, and Dimmick. Come on over and support the kids! They would love to see you!
Looking for something a little more professionally crafted? This is also opening day for the actual Market on Mill vendors.
Alyssa and Ariana from Pawsitively Purrfect Mobile Grooming and Spa visited the preschoolers today and taught them about the job of a dog groomer, the tools they use, and showed them their really cool mobile grooming bus. The children loved meeting the staff, seeing the purple bus, and getting to pet Skye!
