PORT ANGELES — Registration is being accepted now for a BLOCK Fest session at Dry Creek Elementary School on May 7.

Sessions will be at 10 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the school at 25 Rife Road.

Registration is requested in advance because each session has five block stations and families rotate through them over the course of one hour.

Youngsters between the ages of 8 months and 8 years can learn math and science through block play, organizers say.

The sessions are in partnership with the Port Angeles School District.

The sessions are sponsored by the Parenting Matters Foundation and the First Teacher Program, United Way of Clallam County partner agency, through a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

To register or for more information, call the Parenting Matters Foundation at 360-681-2250 or email nicole@firstteacher.org.
