Kona Ice is Coming TOMORROW!

We happened upon some perfect luck with our Kona Ice schedule! They will be here tomorrow, on the hottest day so far, for an afternoon treat!

We (still) LOVE Swimming!

This week, the Busy Bees got to enjoy a field trip to the pool! It was so AWESOME that we have decided that the Busy Bees will have a regular “pool day” beginning next week!

• Busy Bees will swim on Wednesday Mornings from 9:30-10:30 at North Shore Pool! They will take the bus there at 9am, so please arrive by 8:30 to have breakfast before we leave. They will then walk back.

• CAMP will swim:

  • Monday-Thursday mornings from 10-11am at Herndon Swim Club

  • Tuesday and Thursday from 1-2 at Uplands Pool

  • Friday from 9:30-10:30am at North Shore Pool (walking and departing by 9am!)

  • YES that is 7 hours of swimming over 5 days!

• We are working on a plan to add a swim day for the Rising Stars later this Summer!

Got Blood? We need it!

Not specifically Common Ground, but blood banks in the area are DESPERATE for the red stuff! See our post about it here: https://www.commongroundchildcare.org/blog-1/2021/6/23/fireworks-tie-dye-and-blood-drive-july-9th

Summer is the BEST at Common Ground:
