Playground Meetup for families
Sunday, October 16, 4:00 – 6:00 pm at Assabet Park in Northborough
The group had to postpone it’s meetup from September 11th due to rain. Let’s hope the weather is better for the upcoming playdate for kids and families.
Meet and chat with fellow parents of students with disabilities while your child enjoys meeting friends for some end of summer fun. NSPAC will provide snacks and drinks. For additional info please email: NSPAC1@gmail.com
