The Pre-K class at Love Bugs Preschool went on a field

trip to Mickel's Nickels to learn about recycling this

week. The class had a wonderful time with Genny, Castle

and Boston. Miss Joan was so generous, the children each

received a reusable backpack, a new green shirt and some

delicious treats to eat. It was the best Earth Day ever.
