ORIGAMI STORYTIME AT LIBRARY

 I apologize for sending this out so late, but I'm hoping you can get this information to your families today or tomorrow.

There will be a fantastic Origami Storytime at the Portage Lake District Library this Saturday, April 17, from 11:00 - 12:00. It will be presented by Sandy (withheld for archive).

She will read stories about origami and lead kids through the steps of making a project to take home.

Younger kids will decorate pre-made origami figures and older kids will learn the ancient art of paper folding.

INCH HOME EDUCATION CONVENTION
