First Friday
Celebrate First Friday in May with Spirit at Play, a non-profit preschool serving the Missoula community for over twenty years. Please join us for our Second Annual Spirit at Play Art Show and Silent Auction. This family-friendly event features artwork of local artists and children. In addition to live music, kids’ activities, and food there will be a fantastic silent auction filled with gifts and services donated by local businesses. The Art Show and Silent Auction is the perfect place to pick up a unique gift in time for Mother’s Day, graduation, or other special events and you’ll be helping Spirit at Play keep our tuition affordable to Missoula-area families. The Art Show and Silent Auction will take place at the Downtown Dance Collective (121 West Main Street) on Friday, May 4, 2012 from 5:00-8:00pm For more info contact Judy at 728-7001 or e-mail Jennifer at: jen@wildrockies.org
Spirit At Play
Is a premiere Missoula area preschool with an emphasis on sustainability, in addition to the fun and exciting learning and play time (both structured and unstructured). The benefits of recycling and composting are encouraged, with a goal of minimizing waste are concepts that factor into our curriculum. In fact, we have achieved the Champion status, the highest level available, with the Montana Sustainable Business Council in their Strive Towards Sustainability program by demonstrating significant integration of environmental and social sustainability practices throughout the organization.
