Cardinal's Nest to offer Summer Program

WAITSBURG—The Cardinal's Nest is pleased to offer four weeks of hands-on art and science activities this summer! Thanks to generous grants from the Sunny Day Foundation, Northwest Grain Growers, and matched through United Way and the facilities provided by the Waitsburg School District, this summer program is available at no cost.

Sessions are Monday to Thursday, 9:00-10:45 a.m. Kathy Schirm will be leading the activities with her usual enthusiasm and focus on positive interactions with students. In order to follow current guidelines from the Department of Health and ensure that the students get the guidance they deserve, each session will be limited to 20 participants.

If your student has participated this year in The Cardinal's Nest or the Cardinal's Nest Art program and has a registration form on file, you do not need to complete a new one.

If your student does NOT have a registration form on file, you can download one online or pick one up on the first day your student attends. The registration form is available on the district’s website, http://www.waitsburgsd.org
