Clover Knights – Autumn Lenhart, Reporter
April showers bring May flowers but April frost is not good for the pumpkins we planted at our March meeting. Hopefully everyone’s plants made it! The Clover Knights had a great April meeting even though it was cold out. Our President, Becca Lenhart and our Vice President, Madison Rice led our Easter themed craft. We made eggs by dipping string into a glue and water solution and wrapping it around a water balloon. Once they dried we popped the balloon and we had a beautiful, colorful, perfectly shaped egg. Next we had a snack prepared by Ms. Sylvia and Ms. Natalie. We got to decorate cupcakes and rice krispie treats. Thanks for all your hard work. After snack we had our meeting. We did things a little backwards since the craft needed to dry. Mr. Bo told us all about upcoming events. Don’t forget to check the website for all the exciting things that are happening! Our next meeting is May 13th! Can’t wait to see everyone again!
