Preschool Enrollment Shipshewana Cooperative Preschool Preschool enrollment has opened for the 2013 - 2014 school year at Shipshewana Cooperative Preschool. We have been located at the Shipshewana United Methodist Church on the corner of Talmadge/Middlebury Street since 1985. Enrollment forms are available by calling Mechele Schlabach, Director/Teacher, at 260-768-7778 by Jerry Hostetler Our first attempt at publishing an April Fool’s edition of the Hometown Treasure was well-received, for the most part. There were a few people that were left a little confused, but we’re thinking that might have been because they hadn’t seen the explanation of our April Fool’s fun on page 3 of last month’s issue. One thing that we will try to do a better job of doing for next year’s April Fool’s issue, is to explain throughout the publication that it is indeed an April Fool’s Day edition. We had a tremendous response to our April Fool’s edition contest! For those of you that missed the previously mentioned explanation of last month’s issue, we asked our readers to find the five April Fool’s Day photos and one made-up story. We had a total of 48 correct entries. The selected winner is Vernon and Katie Nisley from Ligonier. The Nisleys will be receiving a $50 gift certificate good towards any service that we here at LaGwana Printing offer. Congratulations to them! If you liked the April Fool’s Day edition, be sure to let us know if you’d like us to do it again next year.

We asked students at Meadowview Elementary School to tell us what they liked most about their Mom. You’ll find, spread throughout this issue, some of the many quotes that we collected from the young children. Also, be sure to check out the history of Mother’s Day on page 47. Happy Mother’s Day from The Hometown Treasure! The Hometown Treasure · May ‘13 · pg 3
