Don’t miss our “Wake Up the Garden” event this Saturday, April 18 at 10:30 a.m.
The children will go hunting through the gardens looking for signs of spring. We will make a special magic wand to help encourage the flowers to bloom. Our outside rabbit, Carma has left a surprise for all the children….can they find it?
We also have a special visitor bringing in a sheep to trim. . . will the birds use the trimmings in their nests?
Don’t miss out on all the fun! We’ll see you there!
We are so proud to be awarded the “Eco-School Award” from the S.A.V.E. Organization of Lourdes College. This is their 17th annual award. It is presented to acknowledge schools that promote an understanding and respect for the environment throughout the entire student body.
An award ceremony is scheduled in May where we will receive our certificate. We are all very proud of this recognition but more importantly of the astounding achievements we have witnessed in our students because of our Green Program.

You’ll find these items are crafted with a lot of love, and it seems this affection pours into their Team as well! The NaturalKids Team has a great website and blog to promote their work and also holds weekly promotions in the Forums.
