Playgroups are a great way to build your child's confidence, help your child develop age appropriate social skills and give you a chance to interact with other adults. Playgroups are organized by age and meet once a week at member homes on a rotating basis or at locations planned by the specific playgroup.

Picnic Pals 2012-2013 starts to prepare in spring of 2012.  If you are interested in helping to plan picnic pals events for next year, please contact our co-chairs Marie Soha and Celeste Long at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Picnic Pals is a series of weekly pre-arranged playdates throughout the summer at some of the area's finest parks, beaches and amusement areas. These events are usually free or have a very low cost. Sign ups are not required. Older siblings are welcome and all events are open to non-SECPTA members so please invite your friends along and introduce them to all that SECPTA has to offer this summer!

Simply grab a blanket, pack a picnic lunch (don't forget the sunscreen!) and show up at the designated place. All events will be held weather permitting. A few events have rain-out alternatives. Check the SECPTA website for updates and changes. Email reminders will be sent throughout the summer months.

We hope you can join us!

Sincerely,

Picnic Pals Chairs - Celeste Long and Marie Soha
