Happy Friday, families! Gather your loved ones close this weekend, speak those positive words to your kids, set aside the technology for a bit, and make rest a priority. Here are a few things to put on your radar:
One of our SLOCA parents passed along this fantastic info – another E&E field trip idea!
- Vatican Splendors Exhibit – Open now through August 28th at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Simi Valley. Here’s an excerpt from the description on their website: “…visitors will encounter the art, history and culture of the Vatican with unprecedented access and insight. This special presentation of art and objects includes many never before on display in North America, and some not on view to the general public, even in Rome.” We understand that it contains works of art by Bernini, Guercino, Michelangelo, and others (probably not the Mona Lisa though…), as well as historical objects from the modern and ancient basilicas of Saint Peter’s in Rome. Sounds like it could be pretty amazing, considering all that we have studied in history this year!
And here are a few more local events happening this weekend:
- Bees and Blossoms with the American Honey Queen – Saturday, April 30, from 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM at the SLO Library Community Room. 2016 American Honey Queen Kim Kester of Wisconsin will teach attendees about the inner workings of the beehive, beekeeping in the United States, and how honeybees connect us from coast to coast. Suitable for all ages.
- Allegria Winds –Saturday, April 30, from 3:15-4:00 PM at the Los Osos Library. The Allegria Winds is a quintet made up of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and french horn. They will perform light, fun music for all ages.
