May 19: Science Squad after school event for families on Sears Island
Families are invited to join FOSI’s Outreach Coordinator Ashley Megquier for an afternoon adventure on Sears Island on Monday, May 19 from 4-5:30 p.m. We’ll take a sensory walk along a beach, through the woods and past a vernal pool to find a spot for a forest tea party. This springtime exploration will give families the opportunity to appreciate springtime on Sears Island, while participating in sensory activities to heighten our connection to nature along the way. Ashley will read aloud “The Sun Egg” by Elsa Beskow, and the group will share in some tea and fruit at the end of the program. This event is geared toward children ages 5-12, with an accompanying adult. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required. To sign up, email Ashley at [email protected]. Registration is complete upon receiving a confirmation email.
This event is part of Friends of Sears Island’s “Science Squad,” a place-based after-school program involving children as scientists, explorers, and stewards of their environment. Science Squad is sponsored by First National Bank.
