Fells will help prepare you to celebrate this joyous event with a pre-Equinox celebration on Monday, March 19. We will learn why the seasons occur and why day length changes from season to season. We will celebrate the coming of spring with poetry, music and stories. Weather permitting, we will go outside for a short nature walk to look.
