Third Annual Kids’ Greenfest at NCCL School

What a beautiful day! Lots of great activities, music, food, and fun.

Gov. Markell visited with his rescue puppy and Sen. Coons took a spin on the FenderBlender and made a batch of fruit smoothies!

Families browsed the Book Swap, planted sunflowers and made garden flags, and learned lots of different ways they could help take care of our planet. The day exemplified our motto, “NCCL School: Where Children Love to Learn”. More pictures coming soon...
