Maker Faire was a glowing success at Lima Primary last week, and next week my little Firefly Friends at Mendon Public Library will be earning their orange firefly patches! That means it’s time to register for “Share and Care,” the next wing of classes in the Firefly Friends℠ core curriculum. The weekly themes for “Share and Care” are: Sharing, Thanking, Helping, Caring. Participants will still get to visit with Juniper the firefly puppet each week, of course!  They will also hear new stories, make new crafts, help light up the green firefly jar, and earn their green firefly patch this time!

Pre-registration for current families is now over and open registration is underway. Class size is limited but some spots are still available in the Monday morning group, which will meet from 10:30-11:05am on 11.13, 11.27, 12.4, and 12.11. There are no classes during Thanksgiving week. Please call the Mendon Public Library at 585.624.6067 to register. Classes are free. A donation of $10 is greatly appreciated to help with the cost of the month’s craft supplies. Please note that the Wednesday group, (which will meet from 12:30-1:05pm on 11.15, 11.29, 12.6, and 12.13) is completely full.
