Students at The Island School enjoy an Australian spring picnic on Wednesday to celebrate the new season in the spirit of Australia’s Wattle Festival.

Children at the school have been studying the country and culture of Australia for the entire month of March.

For Wednesday’s picnic, the weather cooperated and blankets were set out on the lawn next to the school for some food, fun and banjo tunes from Mike Derzon, the school’s music teacher.
