Hey Dads and Kids!

Looking for the perfect gift for Mom this Mother's Day?  We can help you out!

MSAD1 Adult Education has teamed up with the MSAD1 School Farm to provide the perfect gift for any Mom, step-mom, Grammy or special lady this May.

Bring the kids to Adult Ed on May 6 between 3 and 7 pm.  Kids will be able to plant a beautiful flower in a cup!  It will only take about half an hour for them to make a beautiful gift any mother would love.

Flowers will be available on a first come, first serve basis.  If you are registering more than one child each child must be registered seperately.  Kids can make more than one if they want (maybe one for Mom and one for Grammy), just let us know how many they would like to make.

AND

They can put some precut vinyl sayings, flowers, gnomes, etc on a plate.  They can choose what to put in the center of the plate and if they wish to have their name, or Happy Mother's Day on the plate we can do that as well.

But what is even better....you can do them both!   When you register make sure you choose which option you would like.  You can choose just the flower, or just the plate or you can choose both.
