Summer Fun!

Our School Agers have had a fun filled summer so far! Throughout the month of June, they have been putt putting, bowling, skating, animal exploring at the Zoo, splashing around at the Smyrna splash pad, and much more!

Aside from all of the amazing field trips, the students have done their fair share of exploring in the classroom.  From volcanic explosions, artistic creations, and many dramatic productions, we are expanding our knowledge and creativity here at Holly Tree! 

In the month of June, the students learned about caring and sharing.  We collected food donations for Second Harvest Food Bank to help feed the people in need within our community. 

God is doing great things here at Holly Tree!  The teachers work hard to encourage students to discover their gifts and talents that God has given them. 

We can't wait to see the blessings July will bring!

Zoo Day - "Wings And Things That Fly"

 We had a visitor today from Nashville Zoo. She brought in a special "wings" box full of different animal wings. The children was able to feel the textures of the wings. They all had great questions and loved our surprise zoo guest!

Cupcake Decorating with Homestyle Bakery

Over Christmas Break, Homestyle Bakery came and demonstrated how to decorate cupcakes for School Age!  The best part was we got to eat them afterwards!  

Ms. Sara, our guest, has two children here at HTPL so she was glad to come out and show us what wonderful things Homestyle Bakery has at their store.  She icing she made was green, red, and white swirl - like a Christmas candy cane!

We got to decorate the cupcake ourselves and then add some extra sprinkles and other decorations to it as well.  We had tons of fun!

Time to eat!!

Proud of her decorating skills :)

This demonstrates the red, white, and green swirls.  We got to watch how she stuffed the icing container to make this swirl pattern.  We were impressed.

Here are some of the extra decorations we could add.

This is Ms. Sara helping with the icing decorating.  Some kids wanted to do it all themselves and others wanted help from Ms. Sara.

We are thankful to Homestyle Bakery for coming out and having such a fun workshop for us to learn from.  The cupcakes were so good!  

Thank you, Ms. Sara!
