Look at our cute little Bash boy!!! He has progressed by leaps and bounds! Look at him sitting up by himself and balancing on that horse and managing his limbs!!!! Every child with challenges should have parents like this young man has!! They certainly will go ALL the extra miles to make sure Bash develops to his full potential!! He's a very precious and very fortunate young man!! I can see amazing progress each time I see him. Bless him, and bless his parents!!!

Coming up soon, folks!! Mark your calendars for a fun time.

This event is coming up next week!! Mon, Tues, and Wed., June 8, 9, and 10. 9:00-11:00 each day. Come out for a good time with the cute and precious kids. Doesn't matter if you're horsey or not. We will have a job for you!! 17244 Doyle Rd., Boonville.

Are you ready for some fun??? We have been chosen to entertain a whole school district's summer school's field trip, k-8. They have allowed us to split them into 3 groups, 3 days, mornings 9-11:00 in the morning for 3 the three days of June 8, 9, 10. It will be set up in several stations that the kiddos can move around to, kinda like a carnival. We need people to work these stations. There will be about 200 kiddos altogether. We entertained them last year. These kids are so sweet and well behaved, and eager to learn!!! It was an absolute joy to have them. If you are interested in helping with this, we would appreciate you very much! It takes a lot of "hands on deck" to do this, but we begged for help last year and got some great people, so we're begging for help again. It worked beautifully last year. If you have questions, please ask either here or on messenger. Our community has been so supportive in the past, and we're inviting you to continue. All you teachers who are out for the summer and find yourself hungry for a little kid connection again in a fun setting, this is the place for you. We invite you all, teachers and non-teachers. I just ask that you let me know that you are wanting to come so I'll know when we have enough.
Thanks, Bonnie
