Salmonberry School invites parents and their children, from infants to four and a half, to participate in two different parent/child gatherings. The first is a drop-in group, which meets on Wednesdays from 9 to 11 a.m., every week that Salmonberry School is in session. Mothers, fathers, caregivers and expectant parents can enjoy a cup of tea and informal conversation while their children play in a Waldorf-inspired environment. This group meets in the back of the Salmonberry grades building at 867 North Beach Road. Entry fee is by donation.

A more structured parent/child class will take place in the preschool and kindergarten classroom on Saturdays, Jan. 31 to March 14 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. with optional outdoor play until noon. Circle time, sharing a meal, creating a simple craft, and parent education will be part of the classes.

Pre-registration is required and the course fee is based on a sliding scale. Contact Jesica DeHart at jesicadehart@yahoo.com or at 376-3367 for more information or to register for the parent/child class.
