Many years ago, someone has lovingly created this enormous snake for use at the preschool.
We no longer have a use for him/her but would be so happy if someone else does.

The Turtles have an awesome new administration space thanks to Ben at BAC Kitchens.
As a result, we have 2 desks (one with a shelf that attaches to the top) that need re-homing.
If you think they might suit your needs, please phone the centre on 65547753.
If they are still here by tomorrow afternoon, they'll be placed on the curb.
