NPS is excited for our first Paws and Play on Saturday, July 26th from 9:00 - 11:00 am at Buena Vista Park. Come enjoy a relaxing morning of rock painting with your child. Just bring a rock and we'll have all the painting supplies. We'll have popsicles to keep everyone cool. Buena Vista Park is just one block from school on 12th Street. This will be a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families in our neighborhood. We are looking forward to seeing the creativity of our families and children playing with their friends at the park.
