Mad Valley Runners 2018 Open to boys and girls grades 3-6.  We look forward to helping kids develop/maintain a love of running.  Parents and  kids  are invited join us,  Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:30- 4:00 for some fun runs on the Mad River Path trails. Last year 17 students and 5 adults enjoyed our program. Having adult running partners for the kids is essential for the program's success. No experience necessary!  We encourage the kids to run at a pace that is comfortable for them, take walk breaks if needed, and support their friends as they do the same.  As their strength and endurance grows they find pleasure in pushing their own limits a bit. Our program is intended for kids that actually want to run during our allotted time.  We will include, long runs, tag games and for those who wish, sprint races.  If this appeals to your child please encourage him/her to sign up. Runs will begin as weather and volunteer support allows, usually in early April. There is no cost to participate.  Please reach out to Joe Robinson jrobinson@wwsu.org or Clayton Wetzel cwetzel@wwsu.org with questions or your offer to run with us.

Pasta with Pipsqueaks: Sunday, April 8th, 3-5pm, at the Moretown School. Come learn to make pasta and let us clean up the mess! Making dough from scratch and creating different shapes is a great way to inspire your kids to join you in preparing dinner. Stay and enjoy the fruits of our labor with a simple dinner afterwards, as due to the challenges of transporting fresh pasta we won't be sending any home. You and your child will love the process AND the delicious result. Workshop is free however you must register by contacting moretownlibrary@gmail.com or 496-9728. Adults without children are also more than welcome to attend.
