Pingry community, Farm community, Penguin Community, Rain Forest Community and finally learning all about an Aboriginal Community in Australia.

3:10- The students walk either to the back door for pick-up or to the front for carpool. Some students may be staying for aftercare or enrichment.  They all meet in the cafeteria.  We have very full days and the students usually come home tired!
