Saint Agnes Family Playgroup - CHECK BEFORE YOU LEAVE!

Once a week, we hold Tuesday playgroups outdoors at nearby parks. To print a written schedule of our winter playgroup locations, please click here.  To see a map of our winter park schedule, please click here.

This Tuesday, November 11th, we will meet at Menotomy Rocks Park (127 Jason St., Arlington).  This park is away from the street, which you can find by following the path, is wooded, has a play structure, and small trail to explore.  We will play in the beautiful fall sunshine and enjoy each other's company.  Bring your own picnic lunch.  Come join us; we hope to see you there!

**NOTE THAT our outdoor schedule is highly dependent on good weather. IN THE WINTER MONTHS, WE WILL MEET IF THE WEATHER IS ABOVE 32 DEGREES.  If the weather seems questionable, please check your email or the blog page before you leave for playgroup. In case of freezing weather or rain, playgroup will be cancelled for the day. Thanks!**
