Last Week At Camp Perry!


World Traveler’s Day
Thursday, August 24th
Perry Nursery School transformed into a mini U.N. as each classroom represented a different country. Australia, India, Japan, Germany, Spain, Indonesia, Italy and Poland were represented with traditional dress and food.

Children from the Purple Room dressed in traditional Indian attire! All were welcome, as friends and family explored each room to taste test the food!


Even Miss Michelle and Miss Erin from the Red Room joined in the festivities, (pictured below) in Australian attire. "G'Day Mate!"

Isabella, (pictured below) shows off her fortune cookies, and offers them to the constant stream of "tourists" coming into the room.

Visit from the Ann Arbor Fire Department!
Friday, August 24th, 2007


The staff and children at Perry would like to thank the Ann Arbor Fire Department for their informative and fun visit! The children learned what to do in case of a fire and were shown what a firefighter looks like with all his/her gear on. Of course the firetruck was the highlight of the visit!
















U of M School of Dentistry Volunteers
Saturday, August 25th, 2007


Last Saturday morning, 35 U of M students packed into the large meeting room at Perry to get into groups. They came to help prepare Perry for the fall school year, and offered their painting, carpentry and cleaning skills for 3 1/2 hours.
Thank you from all the staff and children at Perry for your hard work and dedication! (Also for getting up so early on a Saturday!)
