It’s a storytime party at Bennett School Museum this summer!   Pre-K-1st graders will enjoy an hour of stories, songs and crafts. All children and their adults are welcome!

Storytimes are 10:30-11:30, and an adult must accompany the children. The Bennett School Museum is at 4001 Fuller Road, West Des Moines. (If you’re using GPS, put in the address or Jordan Creek Elementary rather than just “Bennett School.”)

Free, but donations are gratefully accepted to help cover expenses.
