Only One Mother

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn
But only one mother the wide world over

Science Experiment of the Month:
There are no further science experiments of the month due to the upcoming Vintage Science Fair.
The Vintage Science Fair packet went home before Spring Break. You can also access this information online at the Vintage website. The Science Fair proposal was due the week of April 9, 2012. Watch future deadlines!

Be sure to turn your experiment in on time. You may turn it in before the due date. Late experiments will not be accepted as plenty of time is given for completion.
