Elementary Age

Spring brings with it warm weather, birds singing, flowers blooming and bees buzzing. Spend the first official day of Spring outside and take in the sights and sounds that nature offers at this free program for all ages.

At this free hands-on workshop, kids will build a rain guage house so they can measure the rain dropped by spring storms, then paint it to take home.

Should you share your ice cream? And how can two friends play with one toy?

Enjoy a dynamic performance involving the history, culture, language and creation of three dance styles: West African Jazz, Swing and Hip Hop.
