April Round-up

On April 13, participants went and finished their beautiful pottery projects they started.

SSEN partnered with Quebec City Reading Council and animated this month’s Travellin’ Toddler Time and the theme was Bear! It was lots of fun!

Games Night was canceled due to a lack of participants. This was our last one this season.

We partnered with Maison de la Famille Rive Sud on a great cultural event called “Familles d'Ici et d’Ailleurs.”

We had a great creativity corner. The SSEN community enjoyed making bracelets using semi-precious stone beads and trying some tea in a calm and relaxing environment!

We participated in a CHEP session on April 19th.

We held our first SSEN Storytime on April 21 and 28 and it was quite a success!

Our Sugar Shack event on April 22 was great! We loved meeting everyone!
