Exciting time for Pre-K class
Graduation is an exciting time for your son or daughter or grandchild. It’s both an ending and a beginning. For Ms. Montague’s Pre-K class at RCES it was a happy time for those little ones on Tuesday, May 28, when her class received their Pre-Kindergarten Certificate. It was also the beginning of a brand new chapter in their life. The parents were so proud of their child that tears could not be held back for some.
Ms. Montague’s students were full of joy and excitement with smiles on their faces as they sang songs in front of friends and families during the Pre-K performance.
RAPP SENIORS
Rapp Seniors, after an hour of wonderful shopping at Fireside Treasures, the Washington Fire Hall Thrift Store, enjoyed a lovely picnic luncheon at the Rappahannock County Park on Tuesday, May 28. Ruth Welch came and spoke about all of the amazing changes that were taking place at the park — cornhole, shuffleboard, walking trails, feeder garden, tennis court improvements, new bulletin board/announcement case, etc.
She took some of the seniors for a walk to the Rush River and told them about the plants and trees that were removed and that are now "coming out."
Shelby Welch and Ruth Welch both played cornhole, testing out the court (which is regulation distance — a long throw!). Shelby and Darcy played shuffleboard, which was amazingly easy! According to Darcy Canton, Rappahannock Senior Center Site Administrator, the pucks slide so effortlessly on the surface put down for them. They signed out the equipment from the County Administration office at the Visitor's Center and returned it when they were finished.
It was awesome, said Darcy. The lunch was made by Hackley's in Amissville and delivered by a wonderful volunteer, Hal Hunter.
“We had a grand time, enjoying both the people and the environment,” said Darcy. Although it was a hot day, there was a lovely breeze blowing through the shelter which kept everyone cool. “What a great resource this county has with the Rappahannock Park,” said Darcy.
