School board ballots to be sizeable
Last year Kindermusik at the Lakes brought monthly music playdates to Spencer for young children and their families. Thanks to the success of the playdates, Kindermusik will be offering weekly programs starting on Aug. 31.
“We had a really great time doing our monthly musical playdates last year down in Spencer,” said Allison Antoine, business owner and one of the Kindermusik educators. “We thought it would be awesome to provide the weekly class experience in Spencer now.”
