Bayou Buddies

For D week, the preschoolers learned all about ducks. Class was extra special this week thanks to Judy Cody who generously donated 2 ducklings to our education animal collection. Everyone loved watching them swim round and round in our play pool. We're hoping Scooter the rooster will take them under his wing and show them the ropes at Sims. Join us next week for E is for Earthworm! We have many spaces available in our Thursday class!!!
 

National Night Out
by Vicki Vroble
10/10/08
Sims Bayou was proud to host another National Night Out on October 7th. Residents of Park Place and Reveille communed over delicious hot dogs prepared by neighbors Fred and Ramiro. There were lots of familiar faces and new acquaintences were made as well. The gathering would've gone on much longer had darkness not set in so quickly. Plans for outdoor lighting at the nature center are underway to better facilitate evening events. Special thanks to Linda Del Angel for serving food and to Lucy Goldsmith for inviting members of the local AARP group.

What Hurricane?
9/27/08
Wow! What a day! I cannot express enough thanks to Boy Scout Troop 1190 for their hard work today clearing the debris on the trails. Jim Winn and Andrew Beck worked their magic with the chainsaws and Pam Smolen, Vicki, Katerina, and myself were kept busy hauling limbs and making brush piles. Troop 1190 is the same troop that built most of the trails, boardwalk, and bayou deck. Sincere thanks goes out to Peter Christie for helping organize the work crew. We still have a few boardwalks to fix and a few big trees to deal with but we are almost 100% back in business. Now if only we had power!!!!!
