We have created themes that are age appropriate and a weekly scrap booking project to assit particpants in capturing  thier own journey this year. You can assist us in the following ways this Sunday:
  1. Have your child bring thier notes and papers from last Sunday so that they can included it in thier scrap book.
  2. Have your child arrive between 10:30 and 10:50 to choose supplies for creating thier scrap book.(They are very picky when it comes to chosing materials. We want them to benefit from the whole experience.)
  3. Check in with your child afterwards. Ask them about thier experience. Experts say that you play an important role in grooming them as great communicators.
