The musical is titled, "Bada Bing, It's Spring!" by Jill Gallina. Two presentations are planned, on Thursday, April 4, at 1:15 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the school auditorium.
Here's the storyline: The children are waiting for warm weather, the rain is pouring, the weeds have appeared, but the flowers are still nowhere to be found! Come join us as we have fun waiting for the first signs of spring!
A mom-to-mom sale is planned from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, April 13, in the Ada Depot, 112 Central Ave.
The sale will include gently used baby and child items, such as clothing, toys, games, shoes, bedding, bottles, and maternity items (such as clothes and breast pumps).
Dr. Jason Pinkney, of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, invites the public to "The Galaxies of Spring" program on Friday, April 5 from 9-11 p.m. at the ONU Observatory.
Galaxies are a swirling collection of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter. They are generally difficult to see with telescopes because they are so far away and faint. During this time of the year, however, the closest concentrations of galaxies are positioned high in the sky by midnight.
