Putnam and Dutchess Weekly Events 9/15 – 9/21

Hope everyone is having a great start to your school year!  We kicked off first grade last week and she is LOVING it so far!  My 2 year old though NOT so happy that she is not allowed to take the bus yet.  She will start a 2’s program in a couple of weeks though so hopefully it will hold her over for a little bit.  In the meantime there is a bunch of exciting stuff happening this week so get out there and enjoy!
