“We’re in our third year of the Acorn Cooperative Preschool.  We’re thrilled with the involvement of our parents, students, and community that help make our program a success,” says Wendy McCully, program director and teacher of the Acorn Cooperative Preschool.  “This year our young preschoolers and their parents have learned about our local community through guest speakers and fieldtrips in the Mariposa community.  In addition, we’ve continued to expose our students to pre-kindergarten skills, music, art, and nature – all in a positive learning environment. Through this fundraiser, we hope to raise additional funds to continue providing early education for our children as well as increase community support and awareness for Acorn.”

The rummage sale, Acorn’s biggest fundraiser of the school year, will include great deals on a variety of items including children’s items, clothes, furniture, books, and tools. 

Acorn Cooperative Preschool is a non-profit program for children under the age of six.  The program is partially funded through a grant from First 5 of Mariposa.  Acorn, opened and formed as a preschool in January 2006 through the dedication and determination of a group of parents who recognized the need for more early educational opportunities in rural Mariposa County.
