SunOka Apples

These are not just the ordinary apples we are used to getting in our grocery stores. This family farm has won major awards for their fruit.

Fall 2023 Open House and SPA event


Dear Parents and Guardians, 


As we enter a new school year at Saplings Nature School, we'd like to invite all parents/guardians to join us in participating in their children's education program and support services.

Saplings Parents Association (SPA) was formed last year and we are looking for your engagement to ensure its success this year.

To formalize the leadership team of SPA, we'd like to invite you to the first Open House event on September 11, 2023 at 3:00pm. The event will include an introduction to our goals and mission, as well as a time for you to ask any questions. Lastly, we will be voting on the leadership selection so that we can begin fundraising and planning for the year ahead.

Please let us know if any parents require childcare to attend this event. We will do our best to find resources to support your attendance."
