Led by Teresa Savel, master early childhood teacher. We will start on Tuesday, May 7th 9:00 am–11:00 am at the Putney Friends Meeting House in Putney, VT.

Participants will learn songs and rhymes, network with other parents, develop a reverence for the innate abilities of very young children, and enjoy the special moments that come during this early stage of development. Teresa will work out of the Pikler and Waldorf insights of child development. This group will run for 3 consecutive Tuesdays.

Creative arts based Summer Camps in July: for Ages 4.5-10
A great place for children who like to make things with their imagination and hands; who want to create fun friendships; who like to play games where everyone wins; who like healthy, yummy snacks; who want to play outside as well as inside; who want to learn “giraffe language”; who like magical creative things; who like to laugh and have fun! There will always be a project option for the day and many materials with which to play; magical being to play with and plenty of books to read. Activities may include arts and crafts, music and movement, writing, drawing, theatre games and will focus on a different theme each week. Peaceable Village is full of possibility that we can decide together.

Join the Putney Mountain Morris Women and the Putney Morris Men, as we welcome the spring with dance and song. 5:30am on the mountain top--6:45am at the Putney Town Hall. This is one of the nicest local events of the year--a very unique and joyous celebration of springtime, with lots of friends and neighbors turning out for the beautiful sunrise on the mountain.
If you have never been, we urge you to consider trying it at least once. Never know when this thirty-year tradition will come to an end!
Cheers,
Stuart Strothman, Squire, Putney Morris Men
