The scholarship will be funded through donations and proceeds from the Field Station Frenzy 5K Run, Walk, and FunRun that will be held on June 3rd at Coffee Creek. Mrs. Scott was an avid runner and loved getting kids to run with her. She led the Children’s FunRun with a gigantic smile on her face. Please consider running or walking on June 3rd. You can register and donate on RunSignUp.com. The scholarship will go to a graduating senior that attended the Field Station for at least one year.

We will also be doing something new this year called W.O.W. (Weird On Wednesday)! Preschoolers will come to the Field Station on Wednesdays during the month of July. We will have four dates. You can come to all four of them or however many you can make. This will keep the kids a little familiar with coming to the barn and also give parents a little break! The cost is $30 per session or $100 for all four. Please see the attached flyer for more information. This camp will be taught by Brenda Campbell and Becky Hughes (Brenda is one of our 3-day teachers and Becky is one of our 2-day).



Both camps are for children that have completed at least one year of preschool, so any of our current 2- or 3-day kids. It is also open to other children, so please let your friends know.

Space is limited, so if you are interested, please fill out the attached form and leave it at the barn along with your payment. We will have a box set out to put them in.
