⚡️Thank you to Alabama Power!⚡️
Having linemen and a bucket truck visit our Silly Goose Storytime was a blast!

🪿Join Ms. Lauren at Silly Goose Storytime, designed for preschool-aged children, every Wednesday at 10:30 AM.

We don't always have a bucket truck, but we do always have buckets of fun! 😉
