Our theme this month is: KINDNESS MAKES A FA-LA-LA-LA-LASTING IMPRESSION. Throughout this holiday season, we make lots of impressions. The impression I leave in my wake after a public fight with my 7-year-old at Target about whether he’s old enough to ask Santa for an iPhone 15. The impression we leave on our neighbors when they thought someone was leaving them a special, heartfelt gift on their doorstep but it was really just my kids ding dong ditching people we love. But we can also leave an impression on people in our community that they are loved, they are special, and they are important. Let’s round up those tiny little elves in our lives and show them all the good we can do.

After learning a bit about our this month’s theme, we will spend the remainder of our time working on our three kindness projects. At our first station, we will tie some cuddly little fleece blankets for families who might be a little extra cold this winter. Second, we will be filling stockings for kiddos who have recently arrived in the United States and would love some holiday cheer. And third, we will make some very tasty cookie kit jars for families who are facing hunger.

We charge a nominal materials fee per participant. Thus, the supplies for each of these activities will be provided as part of the cost of participation. Detailed instructions for each project will be provided as well. The fee will secure your spot in our program. If, for any reason, you must cancel your registration, please do so at least 10 days before the event in order to secure a full refund. Otherwise, your materials fee will be forfeited.

Our events are geared to kids of all ages, and we have had kids ranging in age from 1 to 18 at our events. So all are welcome! Parents or guardians are asked to stay with their children through the length of the program to assist the children in completing the tasks at each station.
