November in Review
November was busier than ever at Zack’s Place, as we began our transition from fall into winter. It is amazing how quickly the seasons change… One minute we are gardening and digging in the dirt and the next, shoveling and playing in the snow. We hope everyone had a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. We certainly appreciate all of you who joined us at our 15th annual turkey trot… the turnout was incredible both in person and virtual. A huge thank you to our community, all of our families, participants, volunteers, sponsors and the many wonderful donations that were made. Your constant support and generosity is absolutely incredible and we truly appreciate everything you do for Zack’s Place.
On Mondays, we continued our fabulous book club, with Bobbi Perez and Nils Fredland from SNSC. (Special needs support center) We had pottery with Fiona and art with Finnie, thanks to our wonderful collaboration and programs with Artistree. Every Monday afternoon, from 3-5, we had play practice at the Little Theater. Be sure to join us on December 15th for a spectacular performance of Beauty and the Beazt at Pentangles, Town Hall Theater!
On Tuesdays we took a fabulous field trip to the Precision Museum in Windsor VT.We had a great tour and did an art/science project. We had games with Carl Hurd, always a hoot and cooking with Sarah Roberts, making some delicious pizza and muffins. We visited Billings Farm for a farm program and we had a science/gardening program with Linda Galvao, making beautiful dried flower arrangements and wreaths. Every Tuesday afternoon we had yoga with Jamie or Lalita.
On Wednesdays we visited the Norman Williams Public Library for story time with Kitty.This provides us with an opportunity to browse the books and enjoy the activities, available to us on the lower level of the library. We had a wonderful trip to the Shaker Museum in Enfield, NH, which was very informative and absolutely amazing. We did yoga dance with Liz Barker and singing and music with Kerry and Sandy or Bob Horan.
On Thursdays we went bowling at Maple Lanes in Claremont NH.… this is always a group favorite. We had music with Kathleen Dolan and Mark VanGulden and every Thursday afternoon, more Yoga with Amanda or Tita.
On Fridays we continued with our swimming program at UVAC(upper valley aquatic center) We had fitness games with Bari and Vince and another science/gardening program with Linda Galvao. We finished out the week with play practice at the Little Theater, getting ready for the big day!
Overall, another wonderful, productive and busy month at ZP.
